China (via Hong Kong) accounts for more than 20 % of Taiwan's exports, and is now Taiwan's largest export market, importing more Taiwanese goods than even the United States. As a result, Taiwan enjoys a trade surplus of more than US $ 20 billion per year with China, and China trade has become a major force driving the island's economic growth.
目前台灣對大陸（香港）出口金額，已佔台灣出口總額的百分之二十以上，大陸已超過美國，成為我國第一大出口地區；每年由此締造的兩百多億美元順差，則是維持台灣經濟成長的一大動力。
