To carry the analysis further, last year Taiwan exported more than US $ 30 billion worth of goods to the mainland via Hong Kong, with a trade surplus of US $ 29 billion. That not only makes the mainland Taiwan's number two export destination, it also provides a larger trade surplus than any other customer country.
進一步分析，去年台灣經香港轉往大陸的出口金額高達三百多億美元，其中順差二百九十多億美金，大陸不僅是僅次於美國的第二大出口國，也是台灣最大的順差來源。
