美國布魯金斯研究所東亞政策研究中心、財團法人台北論壇基金會、社團法人對外關係協會28日在台北舉辦「2015年台灣內外政策環境的展望」國際研討會，邀請多名學者探討台灣與亞太區域經濟問題。
美國學者索里士（Mireya Solis）今天表示，台灣高度仰賴貿易，必須融入多邊貿易機制，一定要先進入TPP，RCEP會員才會考慮是否讓台灣加入。
中央研究院院士胡勝正表示，台灣的經商環境不差，卻無法吸引太多外資投資，遠遠落後南韓，重要原因是無法和重要貿易夥伴簽署FTA。
台灣大學經濟系教授陳添枝指出，台灣到目前為止只能和有外交關係的國家簽署FTA，只涵蓋出口貿易極小部分，而美國與南韓簽署FTA，已對台灣產品在美國的市占率造成影響。
陳添枝以「FTA夾擊」（FTA siege）形容台灣面對貿易和投資同時受傷的困境，認為台灣若能加入TPP和RCEP等大型多邊協定，也能說服民眾台灣在經貿上沒有過度依賴大陸。
The Brookings Institute East Asia Policy Research Center, the Taipei Forum Foundation, and the Society for Foreign Relations held an international seminar on "2015 Taiwan's domestic and foreign policy environment outlook" in Taipei on the 28th, inviting many scholars to explore economic issues in Taiwan and the Asia-Pacific region.
US scholar Mireya Solis said today that Taiwan is highly dependent on trade and must be integrated into the multilateral trade regime, and must first enter the TPP before RCEP members will consider whether to allow Taiwan to join.
Hu Shengzheng, an academician of the Institute of Central Studies, said Taiwan's business environment is not bad, but it is unable to attract too much foreign investment, far behind South Korea, the important reason is that it cannot sign FTA with
Chen Tim-chi, a professor at the Department of Economics at Taiwan University, pointed out that so far Taiwan can only sign FTAs with countries with diplomatic relations, covering only a very small part of export trade, while the signing of FTAs between the United States and South Korea has affected the
Chen used the "FTA siege" to describe Taiwan's dilemma of being hurt by trade and investment, arguing that Taiwan's accession to large multilateral agreements such as TPP and RCEP could convince the public that Taiwan is not over-depending on the mainland for economic and trade.
