By Crystal Hsu / Staff reporterThe Chinese National Association of Industry and Commerce (CNAIC, 工商協進會) yesterday called on all presidential candidates to make Taiwan more business friendly, saying the government’s 2.72 percent projected GDP growth for next year lags behind the 3 percent global average. “All political camps should assign more importance to the opinions of business groups if they are serious about urging firms to move back to Taiwan,” CNAIC chairman Lin Por-fong (林伯豐) said after the group’s monthly gathering in Taipei. It is better to raise the cap on the number of foreign workers and implement different basic wage standards for domestic and foreign workers, he said. The association said it expects the government to pursue membership in regional trade blocs and secure trade agreement with foreign countries. It has invited major presidential candidates talk about their industrial policy before the election, Lin said.
