The NT dollar was appreciating and wages were rising, threatening the traditional labor-intensive industries that launched our economic boom and leaving businesses uncertain about how to develop. There was little will to invest and everyone was moaning about the dire investment climate and dismal economic prospects-just like today.
當時台幣升值，國內的工資提高，以往賴以起家的勞力密集產業受到威脅，失去了發展空間，但又還不知道要發展什麼樣的新產業，所以投資意願低落，大家抱怨投資環境惡化啦、前途茫茫啦，就和現在一樣。
