At least in the US people worry about whether someone does a good job of work, and not, as in Taiwan, about which province their ancestors came from, who they know, or their family background. I don't think such attitudes fit in with progress towards "a modern country and an open society."
至少在美國，講工作實效，不像台灣要講省籍、人際關係、背景，我覺得這不是邁向「現代國家、開放社會」所應該有的現象。
