Taiwan drew up guidelines for permitting mainland investment in Taiwan in 2004, calling for a phased implementation that would begin with the liberalization of investment in commercial real estate, non-securities financial services, transportation and ordinary manufacturing, but has postponed their implementation repeatedly.
然而，台灣雖早在 2004 年就研擬了「陸資來台投資許可辦法」，也初步擬定了先後階段（如第一波先開放投資商用不動產、證券外的金融服務、航運，及一般製造業等），但卻一再推遲實施時程。
