Luo I-chiang also believes that we can't ease up just because the numbers show positive growth in the economy once again. He notes that Taiwan's growth still lags behind that of Korea, Hong Kong and even Malaysia, indicating that its competitiveness is still slipping. In today's hyper-competitive world, Taiwan certainly cannot be permitted to slide any further or waste opportunities.
羅益強也認為，不能看到數字由負轉正就鬆懈，尤其台灣經濟成長率仍落居韓國、香港甚至馬來西亞等東南亞國家之後，顯示國家競爭力仍在滑落中，在目前全球化十倍速競爭下，實在不容許再蹉跎虛耗了。
