Taiwan, China to restart talks on goods free-trade agreement TAIPEI Tue Aug 5, 2014 6:12am EDT (Reuters) - Representatives from China and Taiwan have reached an agreement to restart formal negotiations on a free-trade pact that would eliminate tax on the vast majority of goods flowing between the two, Taiwan officials said Tuesday. The negotiations, which have been underway for years, will resume at the end of the month, according to representatives from the Straits Exchange Foundation, which oversees the talks. They will include government officials from both sides and are expected to produce a wide-ranging pact that could potentially affect up to 85 percent of traded goods, analysts estimate. Taiwan and China are historical foes that have seen an unprecedented softening in relations under Taiwans China-friendly president Ma Ying-jeou. reuters/article/2014/08/05/us-taiwan-china-trade-idUSKBN0G50Y120140805
