WASHINGTON—Amid growing tensions with China, the Biden administration is forging closer economic ties with Taiwan in areas including trade, supply chains and technology-export controls.
The U.S. Trade Representative’s office on Wednesday unveiled a new pact with Taipei to promote bilateral trade in areas such as digital trade, clean energy and labor rights. The two partners will also collaborate to address nonmarket practices and policies, including those conducted by state-owned enterprises, an issue representing Washington’s leading complaint about China’s trade policy.
