Commissioner Chen Tsang-chiang avers that Kinmen has the advantages over Xiamen of the more creative entrepreneurship that exists under a free market economy and the legal guarantees of a democratic system. Today Xiamen is doing very well, he says, but Kinmen could, with access to the same hinterland, do even better.
從事營造業、熟悉兩岸投資環境的福建省委員陳滄江也分析，自由經濟下，商人的豐富創造力與民主制度的保障，是金門優於廈門的條件，今天廈門都能夠經營得有聲有色，金門就可能比之更好。
