Pei Chia-chi notes that, though there is today more attention being paid to the rights of disadvantaged groups, and there is a trend toward returning land to indigenous people, "the result of returning land to aboriginal people today will be that it ends up in Han Chinese hands all that much quicker, so there will be still more development, with soil erosion and water pollution."
裴家騏認為，從日據時期原住民活動的山區逐漸被收歸國有，今天弱勢族群權益受關注，「還我土地」已是趨勢，但今天還我土地的結果，土地將更快落入漢人手中，更多機械力進入、更多開發、更多水土流失。
