As ever, there are just too many variables to allow a clear answer. The only thing that is certain is that today, as the number of competitors increases rapidly, if Indonesia's Batam Island is to pursue development, then just as with Taiwan's southward investment policy, once a good opportunity has been missed, much greater efforts will be required to get things moving.
唯一可以確定的是，在競爭對手激增的今天，印尼巴譚島要力求發展，就如同台灣推展南向政策一樣，錯過了較好的時機，推動起來可能要花更多的力量。
