A breakdown of the export structure shows that Taiwan has a trade surplus of US $ 82.69 billion total with China, Hong Kong and the ASEAN-6 countries, where there is a high concentration of Taiwanese-invested businesses. In fact, the lion's share of these exports result from internal transactions within Taiwanese-owned groups of companies, with revenues offsetting costs.
（表三）從出口結構分析，台灣對中、港及東協 6 國的出超總計高達 826.9 億美元，由於此區域台商密集，這部分的出口其實多半是台商自家人「左手進，右手出」，獲利和成本兩相抵銷，真正淨賺落袋者並沒有那麼多。
