"These conditions do not exist everywhere in Taiwan," says Hsu Chuan-sheng, director of the Taichung County Bureau of Social Policy. The reason why the mechanisms of civil society have not yet formed in most of Taiwan, says Hsu, is that active non-government organizations and easy access to information don't exist everywhere. "In many places in Taichung County, not very many people even subscribe to a newspaper."
「台灣各地普遍還沒有這樣的條件」，現任台中縣社會局局長許傳盛就指出，台灣大部份縣市還沒有這樣的機制形成，因為創造這樣的市民社會基本上需要活絡的民間團體與資訊充份地流通，「像台中縣很多地方，連訂報率都不高！」
