Wu cites an example: Taiwan and South Korea donated a large number of computers to Tuvalu, and South Korea provided a number of motorbikes to Tuvalu ’ s Ministry of Fisheries. These actions were perhaps intended to improve the efficiency of the government, but the products became rusty in under two years and have had to be scrapped.
吳郁娟也舉例：台、韓兩國過去捐贈給吐國政府很多電腦，韓國還幫漁業部配備多台機車，用意或許是想提升政府效能，然而這些產品在海島環境中往往 2 年就鏽蝕報廢了。
