President Chen further stated that after Taiwan joins the World Trade Organization (WTO), Taiwan and Singapore, as fellow members of that select group of economic overachievers that journalists have come to dub "the Four Tigers," should stop viewing each other as competitors and move toward a friendly division of labor.
陳總統並表示，在台灣加入世界貿易組織之後，同屬亞洲四小龍的台灣與新加坡，更應該由過去的競爭對手轉為分工合作的朋友。
