<entity_0> refers to the bilateral relationship between <entity_1> and <entity_2>. <entity_1> was a trading outpost of Ming Empire and <entity_2> was part of the transcontinental Spanish Empire in the late 16th Century. The pre-modern trans-Pacific linkage had a far-reaching impact that touched areas including <entity_1> and <entity_2>. In 2014, the value of exports from <entity_1> to <entity_2> was worth 363M <entity_1> dollars, while the importing goods from <entity_2> to <entity_1> was worth 108M <entity_1> dollars. Major exports from <entity_2> to <entity_1> are non-retail pure molluscs (22%), and prepared meat (more than 13%). However, as <entity_2> recognises Taiwan as the "Republic of China", it does not have a consulate in <entity_1>, which has been a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. Prior to the transfer of sovereignty in 1997, <entity_2> maintained a consulate when <entity_1> was under British administration. <entity_2>'s National Assembly approved a bill to grant a 50-year concession to finance and manage the project to the <entity_1>-based company, <entity_1> <entity_2> Canal Development Investment Company (HKND Group) in 2013. It has been argued that <entity_2> sold its sovereignty to a <entity_1> company for a century after negotiated without transparency and national consensus. According to anthropological studies, both <entity_1> and <entity_2> have been using stone beater for bark cloth manufacturing, which is an indicator of the spread of cultural identity and technology in Bark Clothing. In 2015, a <entity_1> led large scale of archaeological survey was conducted in <entity_2>.
