From multiple aspects, Taiwan is suitable as a transit trade port. Firstly, in terms of geographical location, Taiwan is located on the continental shelf off the southeast coast of China, in the central position of the East Asian island arc. It is an important node connecting Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, with very convenient maritime transportation, which is conducive to the transshipment of goods.
Secondly, in terms of infrastructure, Taiwan has several modern ports, such as Kaohsiung Port and Keelung Port. These ports have complete supporting facilities for loading, unloading, and warehousing, and can meet the handling needs of a large amount of goods.
However, there are also some challenges. In the policy environment, the stability and flexibility of some policies in Taiwan may be inferior to those of some mature transit trade ports, which may affect trade efficiency. In addition, the uncertainty of cross - Strait relations in recent years will, to a certain extent, bring potential risks to transit trade. Overall, if the challenges can be properly addressed, Taiwan has great potential in transit trade.

Taiwan indeed has a favorable geographical location and can radiate the surrounding areas, which is a natural advantage for transit trade. But currently, the global trade pattern is changeable. Taiwan needs to continuously improve port service quality and innovate trade models, otherwise it is easy to be surpassed by other ports.

The port facilities in Taiwan are good, but transit trade involves multiple links. If the customs clearance efficiency is not high, it will also affect its competitiveness as a transit trade port. It is necessary to optimize relevant processes and improve the degree of trade facilitation.

The labor cost in Taiwan is relatively high, which will, to a certain extent, increase the operating cost of transit trade. If efficiency can be improved through technological innovation and the dependence on human resources can be reduced, this disadvantage may be alleviated.

When it comes to being a transit trade port, Taiwan has advantages in language and culture, which facilitates communication with the Chinese mainland and neighboring countries. However, with increasingly strict environmental protection requirements, port operations need to take environmental protection into account, otherwise they may face restrictions.
