But figures from the ROC Ministry of Economic Affairs indicate that since 2000, Taiwanese investment has been moving away from the Pearl River delta and into the Yangtze River delta. During January to October in 2008, 58 % of all investment in China ended up in Shanghai and Jiangsu, 4.6 times the 12.5 % taken in by second-ranked Guangdong.
中華民國經濟部的統計則顯示，自 2000 年起，台商投資開始有「捨珠江，轉長江」的現象；2008 年 1-10 月，上海和江蘇兩地的投資金額已佔所有區域的 58 %，比第二名的廣東（12.5 %），高出 4.6 倍之多。
