On Tuesday, Dec. 9, The Washington Post interviewed Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou in the Presidential Building in Taipei.The Washington Post: Given the global downturn and the current financial crisis, how quickly will Taiwan see some of the benefits of closer economic ties with China, and given rising unemployment, do you feel any political pressure to move more slowly? President Ma Ying-jeou: Actually, when we decided to inaugurate cross-strait direct flights beginning last July, the idea is to reduce the cost of firms doing business with mainland China. For instance, for ocean-going ships, they could save $5,000 to 10,000 just to get a stamp to show that they have anchored in a third place, and to reduce the travel time for around 5 million people who travel between Taiwan and the mainland. So that will be an immediate benefit. So by the time later this month when we have everyday charters, the savings will be much greater as a result.
The idea is not to encourage our people to invest on mainland China, because the investment climate over there isn't as good as it was before. Actually in the last six months the investment as recorded by our government to mainland China was actually down 3 percent. So the idea is not to encourage investment over there but instead to make Taiwan's own investment climate better, because it will become freer for companies to make decisions. If they want to go to the mainland, that's fine, there's no restriction, as they were before. So the idea is basically to make the environment freer.
So I think the economic downturn certainly is felt in Taiwan and on the mainland, but that wouldn't give us any reason to go closer to the mainland, because actually what will help our economy the most is the expansion of domestic demand. There's a general reduction of foreign demand because the American market is shrinking. That will not only affect Taiwan but also it will affect the mainland. Actually, 40 percent of our exports went to the mainland last year. Some of that eventually found its way to the United States. This is a very typical triangular trade. So when the U.S. market began to fall, the mainland will be affected, and so will Taiwan. So I think the reduction of external need obviously can only be compensated by the increase of domestic demand. This is exactly why we launched a large program for our infrastructure construction and to distribute the consumer vouchers, which will be done on the 18th of January next year. We have already got the law passed, and the budget also passed yesterday.
So we are preparing on the one hand to increase domestic demand by conducting a series of infrastructure projects. In addition, we encourage our people to consume more, to spend more, so we give them $110 for each citizen, hoping that they will increase their consumption. In addition, we have a large employment project which will provide roughly 120,000 jobs from now until October 2009 and then to create another 220,000 jobs from the end of October 2009 to the year 2012. So altogether, 340,000 jobs from now till the end of my term, of course my first term.
