Clearly Chen Shui-bian also sees this point. At a get-acquainted meeting for incoming government leaders, Chen quoted from the 1999 Taiwan annual report issued by the American Chamber of Commerce to the effect that the government itself-in areas like crime, corruption, and cross-strait relations-is the greatest obstacle to Taiwan's economy.
顯然陳水扁也看到了這點，在就職前的「新首長聯誼會」上，他就引用去年九月美僑商會所提出的一九九九年台灣年度報告書，明白指出台灣經濟的最大障礙就在政府本身，包括治安、黑金、兩岸關係等問題。
