There is highly asymmetric and vulnerable interdepent relationship between China and Taiwan. There had been no cross-strait consensus on trading regimes and institutions because of political influences. The cross-strait trading regime and institution was first established since president Ma’s government signed ECFA with china government. This research studied 5 cross-strait trading stages for the past and found out that Taiwan was losing the trading competences because of shutting down and being turned down the communication channels with china government. This research has also shown that ECFA is the first step to turn cross-strait relation from vulnerable interdepency into complex interdepency. According to the important aspects (interdepency, regime and institution) of neoliberal institutionalism, Taiwan government leaders should not escape from the responsibility of interaction with China government even though the future agreement of ECFA’s details will be difficult and worriable. On the contrary, Taiwan government leaders should utilize four types of political process- connections strategy, agenda setting, international organizations& transnational relations to turn the cross-strait relation into「though highy asymmetric, but low vulnerable」interdepent situation and thus so achieve Taiwanese national welfare and independency.
