Surprisingly, the vast majority of this US $ 28 bn worth of trade was a one-way traffic of exports from Taiwan to Hong Kong: last year's trade imbalance between the two was more than US $ 24 bn. Over the course of the year, the volume of exports to Hong Kong surpassed that to the USA several times, and in the end the USA led by only US $ 300 million.
驚人的是，這二百八十億貿易額中，絕大部分是一面倒地由台灣對香港出口，雙方逆差超過二百四十億美元；期間出口香港的數字幾度和美國拉鋸，最後美國僅以三億美元微幅領先。
