| Abstract | A sharp drop in demand for synthetic filament fabrics by Chinese buyers has had a severe impact on Taiwan producers. The Economic Daily News reports that Chinese buyers began cutting back on orders in April 1995. This, and a further drop in demand due to the imposition of a new 17% value added tax in May 1995, caused large quantities of such goods from Taiwan and Korea to be detained in Hong Kong when the Chinese buyers requested that shipments en route be halted. |
