On June 9, 2023, at the Ministerial meeting of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), six countries–including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan–issued a Joint Declaration Against Trade-Related Economic Coercion and Non-Market Policies and Practices, which acknowledged that cases involving international economic coercion, particularly with respect to China’s practice of weaponizing trade measures to achieve political ends, have been increasing. This Joint Declaration also recognized that economic coercion and other“non-market behaviors”adversely affect the lives and business activities of individuals around the world, while undermining the rules-based multilateral trading system, damaging relations between nations, and even threatening global security and stability. This paper aims to analyze the causes and consequences of specific cases involving economic coercion on the international stage, with a particular focus on the various ways in which countries such as Norway, Korea, and Lithuania have responded. In doing so, it also attempts to develop a system of categorizing different types of coercion by focusing on China’s trade restrictions against countries with conflicting interests as well as issues involving human rights, political sovereignty, and national security concerns. Finally, it offers an in-depth analysis of the countermeasures which Taiwan could potentially consider in responding to China’s increasingly coercive measures, thereby providing a basis for further research. |
