When Chiang was president Taiwan's economy had already taken off, and he attended shows on such things as electronics, machinery or European products, and also visited factories such as textile mills or automotive plants. There are many photographs of him at exhibitions, but not a single one from the private meetings by which he stayed in contact with industrialists.
經國先生擔任總統期間，台灣經濟已經起飛，經國先生也參加電子展、機械展，歐洲商品展，或是訪問紡織、汽車工廠等，留下了不少參展照片，但私下接見企業主，跟他們打交道的照片，一張都沒有。
