Analyzing the statistics more closely, some 70 % of Taiwan's exports to Hong Kong are in fact shipped onward into mainland China; of the 1.9 million ROC visitors to Hong Kong, the vast majority were bound for mainland destinations; and most Taiwanese companies active in Hong Kong are mainly engaged in cross-straits business.
把統計數字剝開來推測，對香港出口中的七成左右，其實是轉口輸往大陸的；一百九十萬赴港人次中，絕大比例是以大陸為目的地；在香港活動的台商，也多半將重心放在對岸。
