For example, European and American firms see us as a portal into mainland China. Japan, on the other hand, is already very close to mainland China and has its own connections and bases in the mainland. They do not need Taiwan's geographic advantages, but want to use partnership between Taiwan and Japan to sidestep anti-Japanese sentiment in mainland China.
像歐美廠商把我們當進入大陸的門戶，但日本離大陸很近，在大陸有自己的管道和集中的區域，他們不是利用台灣的地理優勢，而是利用台、日間的伙伴關係，以避開大陸的反日情緒。
