Demanding much while offering nothing in return violates the reciprocal spirit of an FTA, and is reminiscent of China's 2003 CEPAs with Hong Kong and Macao. In those, the trade and investment perks China granted the two territories had a strong air of a "sugar daddy" bestowing favors. Is this what Taiwan wants?
這種單向向中國「要」而不「給」的協議，與 FTA 的國與國平等互惠精神相違背，反倒像 2003 年中國與港澳簽訂的 CEPA，是中國單向給予港澳特區的貿易及投資優惠，帶有濃厚的「示惠」、「寵絡」意味，這是台灣要的嗎？
