They asserted that cheap bedding and food from China have taken over Taiwan's department stores and warehouse retailers, and argued that these low-end products have driven higher quality Taiwanese products off the shelves, costing Taiwanese manufacturers valuable market share. They also noted that manufacturers of a number of goods for which imports have not yet been liberalized (e.g. ceramic tiles) are already struggling as a result of rampant smuggling.
他們指出，過去幾年，中國廉價的寢具、食品攻佔大賣場及百貨公司，劣幣驅逐良幣下，已讓台灣製產品市占率節節下降；有些還沒開放進口的產品如磁磚，也早因走私猖獗，使業界飽受威脅，未來就算採取有條件開放，衝擊將更嚴重。
