Christina Y. Liu, a professor of finance at National Taiwan University, feels, "The reason orders haven't gone elsewhere might be because the situation in East Asia is still somewhat chaotic. Although American and European firms want to get their hands on lower-priced goods, they also worry that firms may go under and be unable to ship their goods. Therefore, they are not ordering from just anybody."
台大財務金融系教授劉憶如則指出：「目前訂單沒有轉向，會不會是因為東亞情勢仍處於混亂，歐美廠商雖然想貪便宜，卻又怕這些國家的廠商會倒閉、交不出貨來，因此不敢隨便下單？」
