This may stretch the negotiations out for a long time to come, but both parties will be more at ease. Thus, for example, if the third Chiang-Chen talks can reach agreement on a general direction, then at the end of this year we can sign an "early harvest" agreement. That can at least address the tariff problems related to petrochemicals, machinery, and the other industries I mentioned earlier.
像最近就要進行的第三次「江陳會」，假設能夠談出一個大方向，然後在今年底先簽一個「早期收穫」（early harvest）協議，那至少可以把剛剛提的石化、機械等關稅問題先解決。
