The trade agreement between China and Taiwan that's currently on the table contains two parts, one concerns publishing and the other has to do with ISP. Taiwanese in general, like to preserve their own identity, culture, language, etc. The agreement MAY alter the market dynamics, for example, squeezing out Taiwan's native publishers. The biggest concern is the control of digital information. No need to explain on this. Overall, Taiwanese are just afraid of what-ifs. Personally, I'm OK with publishing but not the digital information pact.
