Taiwan is "cautiously optimistic" about resuming stalled high level trade talks with the United States this year, a senior official said on Thursday, after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken signalled a possible resumption. Taiwan has long angled for a free trade deal with the United States, but trade and investment talks between the two have been stalled since the Obama administration. A senior official at Taiwan's Economy Ministry told Reuters they hope to resume the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement(TIFA) talks this year.

Taiwan is home to a thriving and world-leading semiconductor industry, used in everything from fighter jets to cars, and the government has long worried about China s efforts to copy that success, including by industrial espionage and other underhand methods.
