Foreign Minister Jason Hu has had to face public doubts about the government's ability to protect Chinese abroad, and criticism over its lack of action to get people out. Hu counters that the ROC's representative office in Indonesia began working to register all those ROC nationals in Indonesia as early as February. But of the more than 30,000 in Indonesia, only some 10,000 registered.
面對政府護僑不力、又不乾脆全面撤僑的怨言，外交部長胡志強指出，我國駐印尼代表處早在二月間即辦理僑民登記工作，但是我國僑民共有三萬多人，來登記的只有一萬多人，遇到事情時，也只能徒呼無奈。
