Cheng explains his view of the slowing pace at Kaohsiung Harbor: "With Taiwan's industry in transition, goods are getting smaller in size but more and more valuable. And on top of that is offshore migration of our industry. Lots of firms are moving their production lines to the mainland.
「台灣先是產業轉型，貨品體積愈做愈小、價值卻愈來愈高，再來是產業外移，許多業者將整個生產線移往大陸，高雄港成長趨緩，其實有跡可循，」鄭旭明分析。
