All the countries in the world have strict access regulations for the market access of foreign banks. As the country with the closest economic ties to Taiwan, China has changed the market access regulation for Taiwanese banks from complete restriction to more opened since Taiwan and China signed The Memorandum of Understanding on Cross Straits Banking. In 2019, under the pressure of US-China trade, the " Regulation of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Foreign-funded Banks " were revised to relax RMB business restrictions and adjust foreign bank branch working capital requirements, and make the adoption of merger assessment for foreign bank branches. However, the foreign bank management regulations are applicable to all foreign banks including Taiwanese banks. Taiwanese banks cannot enjoy treatment superior to other foreign banks as in the cross-strait economic cooperation framework agreement. This thesis focus on the changes of supervision measures to foreign banks in China and "Several Measures for Promoting the Cross-Strait Economic and Cultural Exchanges and Cooperation" related to banking industry. The research method is to interview with professional practitioners to clarify the implementation. The thesis summarize the difficulties and the future opportunities that Taiwanese banks may encounter in China, and remind Taiwanese banks of the soft threshold that they may encounter and provide advice on their expansion opportunities in China.
