Thus, it is overly simplistic and misleading to focus exclusively on the debate over direct links between Taiwan and China when there are in fact many reasons for the varying degrees of success of the economies of Taiwan and Korea. Moreover, in the WEF report Taiwan performs quite well indeed on indicators related to "creative competitiveness."
台韓經濟消長互見，原因很多，但一味把焦點放在「經濟鎖國」之爭上，卻是一種簡化與誤導。此外，在 WEF 的競爭力報告中，台灣於「創新競爭」相關的指標，表現仍相當優異。
