Although Taiwan already has a proliferation of export processing zones, science based industrial parks, offshore transshipment zones, bonded zones, specialist warehousing and transshipment zones, and so on, with a bewildering variety of different names and a maze of overlapping regulations, there is barely one among them that could pass muster as a free port zone.
然而國內目前的加工出口區、科學園區、境外轉運區、保稅區、倉儲轉運專區等等，名詞林林總總令人目不暇給，法規又疊床架屋，幾乎沒有一個可以成為合格的自由貿易港區。
