I. INTRODUCTION

Liberalization and internationalization are two guiding principles in this wave of legal reform in the Republic of China (“Taiwan” or “ROC”). The government seeks to establish a modern and transparent legal framework to facilitate cross-border economic activities with minimum interference to the parties’ freedom in structuring their business relationships.1 After being isolated from the formal legal framework of the international community for a long time, Taiwan successfully entered the World Trade Organization (“WTO”) in 2002 as an independent customs territory, and stands ready to adhere to the international disciplines enforced by the WTO.
