The broad idea for this was floated two years ago. The hope is that Taiwan can take advantage of its geographic location, orthodox Chinese culture, business connections with overseas Chinese, and solid industrial base to become the regional center for foreign firms coming to the Asian region (and especially for those firms investing in the PRC).
這項兩年多前就提出的宏偉構想，希望台灣能憑藉優勢的地理樞紐位置、正統華人文化與綿密的華商人脈、以及本身產業的雄厚基礎，成為外商來亞太地區、特別是赴大陸投資的區域中心。
