Although the PRC promulgated an investment protection act for its "Taiwanese compatriots" in 1994, the law treats Taiwanese businesses as domestic firms. As a result, when there are disputes, Taiwanese firms are not necessarily protected under the law. Moreover, given China's strategy of using business to manipulate governments, Taiwanese investors could face fallout in the event of political wrangling.
中國大陸雖在一九九四年公布「中華人民共和國台灣同胞投資保護法」，但屬於國內法，一旦發生糾紛，台商未必能得到保障，尤其中國一向採取「以商圍政」策略，台商的投資很可能在一朝政治角力後陷入困境。
