Kinmen County executive Chen Shui-tsai says: "The per capita income in Kinmen was originally only two-thirds that in Taiwan, and now that the garrison has been substantially reduced and the tourism industry is still in the doldrums, things are even tougher."
「軍人大幅減少，觀光業不振，讓國民平均所得本來就只有台灣三分之二的金門人，生計更為困難」，金門縣長陳水在說。
