Event Introduction
The U.S.-China trade conflict has not only had a direct impact on businesses, consumers, and trade, but has also caused the adjustment and restructuring of global supply chains. In addition, the U.S. government has taken measures to restrict the flow of technology into China, and to prevent information and national security from being threatened by its rival. Although the U.S. and China signed a phase one trade deal on January 15, 2020, trade tensions and technology competition between the two countries will continue to affect the operations of multinational enterprises and the global economy.
As they say: when it rains, it pours. The recent COVID-19 outbreak has infected more than 4,000,000 and caused nearly 280,000 deaths worldwide as of early in May. The pandemic has severely affected several industries, including global transportation, logistics, tourism, and catering. This in turn has triggered a stock market crash, material shortages, and delays in cargo shipments, among other effects. For industrial supply chains and the global economy, the virus has made a bad situation even worse.
Event co-organizers AmCham Taipei and InvesTaiwan are honored to invite Emeritus Professor Tain-Jy Chen of the Department of Economics at National Taiwan University to share his insights regarding the current uncertain economic and trade situation, as well as future prospects for the Taiwanese economy. Professor Chen previously served as president of the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research (CIER). He also served two stints as minister of the National Development Council, during which time he led Taiwan through the global financial crisis.
活動說明
始自2018年中的美中貿易衝突，除了對企業、消費者及經貿表現產生直接影響外，也造成產業供應鏈布局的調整與重組。其次，美國政府同時採取各項措施，以避免技術外流至中國，以及資訊安全及國家安全受到中國之威脅。雖然美中已於2020年1月15日簽署第一階段貿易協議，但美中貿易衝突與科技競爭，對於跨國企業營運與全球經濟影響仍將延續。
屋漏偏逢連夜雨，2019年12月起爆發的新型冠狀肺炎，截至2020年五月初已造成全球確診超過四百萬例，超過 280,000人死亡。目前疫情已嚴重衝擊全球運輸、物流、觀光、餐飲等產業，更進一步引發股市下跌、缺料、無法出貨等問題，對產業供應鏈及全球經濟的影響更是雪上加霜。
在近期國際經濟高度動盪的情勢下，本次活動很榮幸能邀請到行政院國家發展委員會前主委、中華經濟研究院前院長，台灣大學經濟系陳添枝榮譽教授，以其曾帶領台灣度過金融風暴之資歷，深入剖析充滿不確定性的全球經貿情勢以及台灣經濟之前景。
