Tsai said the government should impose more stringent checks on all Chinese imports and increase persecution of those found mislabeling or selling fake goods. To do otherwise would place Taiwanese manufacturers at a huge disadvantage, he said.
However, Huang also said things will continue to get worse before they become better because passage of the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) with China will dramatically increase the amount of goods, legal and otherwise, coming across the Taiwan Strait.
“Every day we wait for the government to handle and stop this practice, but so far nothing has come of it,” he said. “The government just doesn’t care about traditional Taiwanese industries.”
