Some expensive European boutiques hang out front the flags of the countries whose tourists buy the most from them. As Taiwanese spending has grown over the last few years, the white sun, blue sky and red earth of the ROC flag has started adorning the front of some Swiss watch shops and Italian leather and crystal shops.
歐洲部分精品會把店內消費額最高的國家旗幟，掛在店前，凌瓏指出，這兩年拜強大購買力之賜，瑞士鐘錶店、義大利的皮件、水晶玻璃店外，都可以見到青天白日滿地紅國旗冉冉飄揚。
