Land is state property, and most people live in homes owned by their work units, so that these cannot serve as collateral for "start-up capital." Another reason why private enterprise is having a hard time burgeoning is because "government policy is tilted in favor of foreign and Taiwan investors." It is still up in the air whether or not the mainland can duplicate Taiwan's development experience.
土地國有、住單位配房，不能拿去抵押貸款來籌集「啟動資金」；「政策向外商、台商傾斜」，也使得私營企業的陣容無法迅速蓬勃壯大；大陸能不能成功翻版台灣經驗，頗成問題。
