Some consultants also pointed out that after the start of the epidemic, inflation has changed from cost-push to demand-push. Although the inflation in the United States fell to 7.7% in October, it is still very high. In particular, the labor market in the United States has decreased by 1%, with about 2.6 million laborers, resulting in wage increases. At the same time, housing prices and rents continue to rise, oil prices are unstable, inflation in the United States will continue for a while, and interest rates will continue to be high.

 

For mainland China, the consultant believes that the uncertainty of the business environment inside and outside of mainland China is increasing, and it is a risk that companies must pay attention to. Including the economic impact caused by frequent city closures, the CCP uses power to allocate resources instead of using market mechanisms to solve the problem. It is obvious that mainland China will return to the socialist line in the future, hoping to solve the inequality of wealth through practices including supply and marketing cooperatives, common prosperity, and large dining halls. The problem.

 

This kind of left-leaning "Chinese-style modernization" has hidden worries. On the one hand, it may lead to the deterioration of the "rent-seeking" problem, and on the other hand, it may cause the phenomenon of "rent value dissipation", such as consumption and inefficiency caused by queuing.

 

As for the future development of Taiwanese businessmen, the consultant suggested that we should pay attention to two business opportunities. The first is the digital economy. In view of the fact that the new crown epidemic has changed people’s living habits, mobile payments are widely used, and countries are actively building information centers to drive the rapid growth of cloud services. In the next five years, it will also Continue to grow. The second is the business opportunity of net-zero carbon emissions. The biggest consensus between the United States and China is low-carbon. Cross-strait industrial exchanges and cooperation are still intensive, and are gradually focusing on the digital economy and net-zero carbon emissions. Taiwanese businessmen can respond to relevant trends early and look for development opportunities.

 

Zhan Zhihong emphasized that the SEF cooperates with the government to encourage Taiwanese businessmen to return to Taiwan to invest. In the past two years, it has successively invited Taiwanese businessmen to visit various counties and cities in Taiwan to understand the local investment environment and look for business opportunities. It has been highly recognized by Taiwanese businessmen and has invested or is currently negotiating There are more than 10 cases. (Source: cna1128) ☺
