The Republic of China's high-tech export control system

This paper will analyze the international background for the Republic of China's institution of a high-tech export control system; Taipei-Washington talks on the subject; and the establishment, special characteristics, and implementation of the system. The study shows that U.S. pressure, international requirements, increased high-tech imports, and the desire to participate in the international community were direct factors leading to the establishment of the system, and that its future development will be determined by its efficiency, the development of a new international control system, cross-Strait relations, and U.S. attitudes.
