Taiwanese publishers often visit the mainland nowadays without relying on Hong Kong as a go-between. What strikes them is that although Hong Kong is now part of the PRC, in the mainland Hong Kong publishers are still treated like outsiders, just like the Taiwanese, and don't get any preferential treatment whatsoever.
今天台灣出版業者頻繁出入大陸，不再需要香港牽線，而最弄人的現實是，香港雖已回歸，但出版業在大陸市場仍被視為外人，與台灣一視同仁，沒有半點優待！
