China Considers Additional Tariffs on Taiwanese Goods as Presidential Election Approaches

Ahead of Taiwan’s presidential election, China announced on Thursday that it is contemplating the imposition of additional retaliatory tariffs on Taiwanese products. This consideration comes as the relationship with Beijing remains a significant topic in the upcoming election. China, which views Taiwan as part of its territory, has intensified its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure on the island in recent years. In a move perceived as part of this strategy, Beijing had previously suspended tariff concessions on twelve Taiwanese products, including certain chemicals used in the plastics industry. The suspension was in response to what Beijing termed as “discriminatory bans” by Taipei on products from mainland China.

The Chinese commerce ministry, in a statement on Tuesday, indicated it is reviewing “further measures to suspend tariff concessions” on additional categories, such as machinery and auto parts. The ministry’s statement criticized the Taiwanese government for not taking effective actions to ease trade restrictions on mainland China, and instead engaging in what it described as political maneuvering. The implementation of the first set of tariffs by China, which began on January 1, led the Taiwanese government to accuse Beijing of election interference and employing economic coercion tactics.

The upcoming Saturday election in Taiwan is attracting attention not just in Beijing but also in Washington, as voters are set to select a new leader who will navigate the island’s relationship with an increasingly assertive Beijing. Alongside the economic measures, Beijing has maintained a near-daily military presence around Taiwan. This includes recent movements of Chinese balloons across the median line in the Taiwan Strait, actions which Taiwan and conflict analysts interpret as a form of “grey zone” harassment.

Taiwan’s Vice President and election frontrunner Lai Ching-te, on Tuesday, accused Beijing of exerting influence on the imminent election through various means, including political and military intimidation, economic measures, cognitive warfare, disinformation, and both threats and incentives.
