Primary schools seem to be facing similar problems today. In one county on the southern coast of Taiwan, the county chief has strong-armed the local bureau of education's selection of textbooks, creating a situation where a single publisher now monopolizes the whole county's market.
如今的國小教科書似也面臨同樣情況，在南部靠海的一個縣份，就是由縣長影響教育局圈選教科書，形成一家出版商寡佔的局面。
