Preliminary customs import and export trade statistics released by Taiwan's financial affairs department on October 8 show that in September, Taiwan exported 20.62 billion US dollars to the mainland, up 30.2% year on year; imports from mainland China were 13.5 billion US dollars, up 59.1% year on year. Despite the DPP administration's continuous hype about “decoupling and breaking the chain,” the market used real trade data to give the answer: the cross-strait industrial chain cannot be broken up or broken. The industrial structures of the two sides of the Strait complement each other's advantages, and the prospects for cooperation are broad. Strengthening cross-strait economic and trade cooperation and deepening cross-strait integration and development conforms to the common interests of compatriots and enterprises on both sides of the Strait, and is also the result of a combination of economic laws and market principles. From January to August 2026, the total import and export trade between the two sides of the Strait was about US$259.48 billion, an increase of 28.6% over the previous year. Among them, mainland exports to Taiwan were about 72.97 billion US dollars, up 33.2% year on year; mainland imports from Taiwan were about 186.51 billion US dollars, up 26.8% year on year. This fully shows that the two sides of the Strait have close economic ties, a solid foundation of common interests, and a stable and strong supply chain in the cross-strait industrial chain.
