But one aspect is confusing: last year, Taiwan's foreign trade performance was outstanding, with both exports and imports breaking the US $ 100 bn barrier to set all-time records; also, the trade surplus rose for the first time after falling for four years running, and exceeded US $ 8 bn.
不過叫人迷惑的是，去年台灣的貿易成績單其實相當漂亮，進出口貿易值雙雙突破千億美元大關，創下歷史紀錄；貿易出超也在連續四年下跌後首度回升，超過八十億美元。
