Though committed Taiwan investment (RMB1.3 billion) ranks only sixth and accounts for only 4 % of total foreign investment, this figure is suspected to be a low estimate. If you include the amounts invested by "shadow Taiwan businesses" through banks in places like the Virgin Islands or Cayman Islands, "Taiwan investment in Beijing accounts for about 15 % of the total," estimates Deng Depei.
不過這個數字顯然有低估之嫌，如果把那些從維京群島、開曼群島等地曲折轉進的「隱形台商」通通歸位的話，「台商的投資金額，應該可以達到北京市外資總額的百分之十五，」鄧培德估計。
