Japan and Taiwan Unite

Japan and Taiwan had signed an agreement to allow a greater extent of free trade. Taiwan has access to send planes to ship in products to some major airports in Japan. With Japan being Taiwan’s second largest importer (with China being the first) as well for tourism Taiwan is set to a stable economic trade. Japan will gain an easier access to China’s market. The both countries (Japan and Taiwan) even though have no diplomatic ties since the seventies still maintain trading relations.

Keeping trade between in two countries keeps peace in the region. Not only that it reduces dependency on China and their growing economic power. With Taiwan declaring themselves a free state and the Japanese supporting Taiwan’s freedom makes it difficult to enter the Chinese economy. With the signing of the investment interests will increase free trade and communication with the two countries.
