And while the governments of Taiwan and Vietnam have not changed their official position of neither encouraging nor barring transnational marriages, the number of Taiwanese-Vietnamese marriages has been falling-in 2006 there were only 3,226, down from a peak of 13,863 in 2000.
即便台越雙方政府「不鼓勵、不禁止」的立場從未改變，但台越聯姻卻從 2000 年的 1 萬 3,863 對高峰，下降到 2006 年的 3,226 對，箇中因素耐人尋味。
