Taiwanese public opinion pays attention to cross-strait economic and trade after the election and urges the authorities to deal with it pragmatically. Public opinion in Taiwan believes that the mainland is an important trading partner and the two sides of the Taiwan Strait should work hand in hand and cooperate for development.

The DPP authorities should face issues such as the Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) pragmatically and properly, says Ding Kunhua, honorary president of the National Taiwan Compatriots Investment Enterprises Association.
