19 China’s Bank SWOT analysis II. SWOT Analysis

20 China’s banking system is still larger than other countries in Asia, but banking regulation and corporate governance should be improved in the near future, especially strengthening the financial institutions' transparency. Taiwan has suffered a setback in its effort to reform state- owned banks. Despite the setback, we expect the government to continue its financial reform efforts and mergers and acquisitions, albeit at a more cautious pace. The banking regulations in both sides of Taiwan Straits should be improved as soon as possible. The earlier this can be achieved, the higher its benefits will be and the lower its costs for the pacific basin as a whole. Both government’s long-term strategies are to continue improving the bank infrastructure for development, and to develop service industries to speed up economic transformation. Ⅲ.CONCLUSION
