However, whether large or small, for a company to really switch to using Singapore or Tokyo as a third-country location via which to invest indirectly in mainland China, or for them to ship goods via Southeast Asia or Ishigaki Island in the Japanese Ryukyu chain, would involve a lot of extra trouble.
不過，不論企業大小，真要另找新加坡或東京作為間接投資大陸的「第三地」，或是繞道東南亞或琉球石垣島等地作為貨運轉運站，都會大費周章。
