In the wee hours of the morning of March 2, Taipei time, the US State Department was formally delivering its International Narcotics Control Strategy Report to the Congress. The conclusion to the report listed 31 places as suspected of being "major drug production or transit countries / territories." Taiwan was, along with places like Iran, Burma, and Hong Kong, one of those unfortunate enough to make the list.
今年台北時間三月二日星期六凌晨，美國國務院正式向國會遞交「一九九六年國際毒品管制策略報告」，報告的總論中列舉了全球去年有「主要毒品產制或轉運國」嫌疑的三十一個國家地區，台灣不幸中獎，和伊朗、緬甸、香港等並列黑名單中。
