accounts for more than US $ 600 million, putting it in first place. Actually, that figure is far behind Taiwan's in-vestment in mainland China and other countries in Southeast Asia. In Malaysia, for instance, where it is also the number-one foreign investor, its in-vestment between 1986 and 1991 totaled nearly US $ 5 billion.
這個數字其實遠不及台商在中國大陸和東南亞各地的投資金額；以同樣居外資之首的馬來西亞為例，自西元一九八六至一九九一年，台資總額近五十億美元。
