In order to reduce rents for office space or the costs of new factory construction, famous companies like Acer electronics, Chung Hsing textiles and Hsi Ling electronics have moved their headquarters out of Taipei. Many entrepreneurs have, after calculating rising land and labor expenses, moved to mainland China, Thailand, or Malaysia to set up factories.
為降低辦公室房租或建廠成本，宏電腦、中興紡織、西陵電子等知名企業將總部遷離台北；也有不少業者在考慮土地及勞力成本後，轉到大陸、泰國、馬來西亞等地設廠。
