Chen said the current Democratic Progressive Party administration has encouraged local enterprises to invest in southeast Asia. "We cannot part with the mainland even if we invest in southeast Asia," said Chen.

"Even though Namchow Group set up factories in Thailand in 1989, it has always been the mainland market that matters most to us," said Chen.

Chou Chien-fu, general manager of TXC (Chongqing) Corporation, was also upbeat about his company's future in the mainland as it had increased investment in western regions.

"Mainland has, as always, facilitated Taiwan companies' development here, and helped solve difficulties," Chou said. "We will not give up the mainland market."

According to official figures, 81 enterprises with financing from Taiwan were established in Chongqing last year, a year-on-year increase of 58.8 percent. The used investment from Taiwan stood at 200 million U.S. dollars, up 29 percent from 2015.
