In terms of ideology, the stress on the ideal of a unified Greater China and institutionalized anti-communism threw a pall over local culture, and a Taiwan-oriented consciousness had not yet openly emerged. The political environment and the distribution of cultural resources were less than fair, and due to the influence of a world-view centered on the Chinese mainland, progress on urban rapid transit systems and many other important basic infrastructure projects was slow.
意識型態上，由於強調大中國與反共法統，本土文化不彰，台灣主體意識也隱而未顯，政治生態、文化資源的分配不盡公平，許多重要基礎建設也在「心懷大陸」的思維邏輯下進度緩慢，捷運就是一個例子。
