Wang said that she did not oppose the customs reductions, since her store carries a small number of Chinese tea products already.
“I’m not against cross-strait trade, Taiwan does need more interaction with the world,” she said.
However, she said it was still hard to support the deal, because for small businesses like hers, “it is really a lot of trouble trying to export tea to the Chinese market.”
If the government wanted more small business owners to benefit, they would need to do a better job of promoting the agreement and explaining to the public what exactly what it entails, she said.
