Taiwan's skill at fundraising is outstanding among Asia-Pacific nations, and at various international conferences this ability has often earned the admiration of delegates.

This situation is aggravated by the media, who have focused on the bickering surrounding the issue, and have not exercised effective supervision or contributed to social progress in this regard"
