Beijing on Thursday suspended tariff reductions of some Taiwanese products under the cross-strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) from January 1.
Twelve categories of imports from Taiwan, including propylene and paraxylene, would be affected, according to the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council.
The ECFA, signed in 2010, includes an 806-item list of goods approved for tariff reductions.

The commission accused Taiwan of “unilaterally adopting discriminatory measures against mainland exports,” saying the island’s prohibitions, restrictions and other measures violated provisions under the ECFA.
