单纯以劳力密集型为特点的传统制造业已不再是台商投资内地的外在表征。从传统制造业到投资高科技、服务贸易业,再到喧嚣而来的金融业,台商在内地缔结的新生态链已初现端倪。

The event is consideredthe beginning of westward movementof Taiwnn financial businesses.During the last decade, manymanufacturing businesses, especiallycomputer parts and peripherals manu-facturers, have moved their manu-facturing bases to Southern China andEastern China, in order to get a foot-hold in this rapidly expanding mar-ket. Generally, these businesses areexploiting cheap labors, thus to cutmanufac-turing costsand tomake ad-vantage oftax prefer-ences. However, today these labor-intensive businesses are shadowed bygreater investments from Taiwan gu-rus who tend to establish memorychip manufactruing plants in Shang-hai.It is said that over 350,000 Tai-wan businessmen lives in Shanghaiand adjacent region. They are en-gaged in a variety of businesses suchas high--tech, banking, securities, autoparts and so on. It is more and moreclear that a complete business circle isforming in China's Mainland. From res-taurants, bars to education, from autoparts to memory chips manufacturingand from banks to securities firms,Taiwan businessmen could find thatthey can not only make money inChina's Mainland, but also can livecomfortably in Shanghai as inTaipei.
