台灣的區域均衡與民主發展（二）
Calling for regional balance and democratic development in Taiwan - Part 2

  §  台灣的區域經濟失衡
  §  The imbalance of regional economy in Taiwan

總統蔡英文曾在 2015 年的「國土基盤整備與國家永續發展會議」發表看法

在地人口高齡化也更加惡化。第二個問題，是「鄉村破落」。年輕人大量的外移，

也使得鄉村發展的可能性越來越少，就算地方政府引進工業與觀光，
也因為欠缺整體發展的規劃與資源，導致鄉村地景的破壞與瓦解，
鄉村地區的活力喪失殆盡。第三個問題，是「首都圈發展令人擔憂的現象」，
因為大量人口往北部集中，造成土地及房屋價格高漲，連中產階級都無法立足，
對年輕人更是一場噩夢。也因為過度擁擠，都市生活品質一直無法提升。』【 5 】

President Tsai Ing-wen commented regarding regional economy imbalance at the
"2015 National Land Consolidation and Sustainable Development Conference"
that the first issue is 'differentiation between regions'.
As the government invests predominantly in the more concentrated north,
other regions see a decrease in economic activities. Consequently,
residents in those regions suffer from unemployment,
thus moving to other cities to seek employment,
which then worsen the problem of ageing population in those regions.
The second issue is 'deterioration of villages'.
As large numbers of youngsters move away,
it reduces the possibility of rural development in those areas.
Even with the local government's effort in introducing industries and
tourism into the area, the rural landscape ends up destructed due to
lacking in resources and overall developmental planning,
which ultimately leads to these villages losing their vitality over time.
The third issue lies with
'the troubling phenomenon of development of the capital district'.
As large numbers of people pour into the north,
landed property and housing cost skyrockets.
It makes it makes it a nightmare for the middle class,
especially the younger generation to maintain their lives in the north.
Furthermore, it becomes increasingly difficult to
improve the quality of urban life due to overcrowding cities. 【 5 】

受商業歷史悠久的華人社會影響，當代中國商人圍繞著象徵最高權力的「京城」
從事商業活動，經常錢權相伴。在台灣，也深受這種商業行為所影響，
經濟活動朝著政治中心移動、依附且不斷壯大，在亞洲社會是一種常見的商業行為。

With the long commercial history of the Chinese community,
contemporary Chinese businesspeople often engage in commercial
activities surrounding the ‘capital’, a symbol of ‘the highest power’.
More often than not, money and power go hand in hand.
Taiwan is deeply affected by this commercial mentality,
with her dependent and ever-growing economic activity
constantly moving towards the political centre.
It should be noted that such commercial
development is not unusual in other Asian societies.

台北市長柯文哲（Ko Wen-je）曾表示過：「相信只要努力就會成功的價值，
年輕一代已感受不到，因台灣政商關係複雜已經到世襲程度。」引述自由時報，【 6 】
因產業與資金過度集中於台北的現狀難以想像，例如，
在 2014 年高雄市發生大規模氣爆事故後，
市府實施高雄市既有工業管線管理自治條例
（Kaohsiung City Autonomous Statutes for the
  Management of Existing Industrial Pipeline），
使得台灣最具規模的經濟部所屬國營事業，台灣中油（CPC Corporation, Taiwan）
等 14 家能源石化及管線業者，將總部遷至高雄市，才扭轉石化業總部、
管理階層聚集於幾乎沒有廠房的台北市，工業污染在其他縣市的現象。

As quoted in the Liberty Times, Taipei Mayor, Mr. Ko Wen-je once said,
“the youth of this generation no longer has faith in the values of success
that would come with perseverance and hard work because
of the complexity of the political-commercial situation in Taiwan.”【 6 】
It is difficult to picture exactly how concentrated the industry
as well as capital is in Taipei. For instance, in the aftermath of
the large-scale gas explosion accident that occurred in Kaohsiung in 2014,
the municipal government put into place an industrial pipeline autonomous
management regulation ( Kaohsiung City Autonomous Statutes for the
Management of Existing Industrial Pipeline), thus making Taiwan's largest
business owned by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (CPC Corporation, Taiwan)
and other 14 energy and petrochemical and pipeline industry relocate their
headquarters to Kaohsiung City. This regulation finally ended a phenomenon
whereby petrochemical industry headquarters concentrated in
Taipei without their industrial plants, while other counties and
cities endured the industrial pollution for years on end.

圖 B 為去年 12 月由台灣的經濟部商業司（Department of Commerce, MOEA）
所公布的資料，不難發現到，大多數的產業資本在台北都會區聚集，
環繞著政治權力中心的現象在台灣存在許久。

Figure B shows data released in December 2016 by Taiwan Department of
Commerce, MOEA. It is not difficult to see that most of the companies’
headquarters are gathered in the Taipei Metropolitan Area.
This phenomenon of economic development surrounding the
political power hub has existed in Taiwan for a long time.

當經濟活動與政治權力集中於一地，假如缺乏相應的法治精神，與相互制衡的制度
，這對於政府的廉能、其他區域的均衡發展，及偏遠地區的人們理應享有的基本權利
，會不會有間接性地損害呢？又官商綿密的關係會不會就此滋長勾結與腐敗的溫床呢？

In the case where economic activity and political power are concentrated
in one place, while it lacks corresponding regulations to keep all parties
in check, it raises the possibility of indirect impairment to the
government’s honesty, the balanced development of other regions,
and the basic rights that should be enjoyed by the people in remote areas.
On another note, might the close relationship between
the government officials and businesses lead to corruption?

在台灣，31 家進入富比世 500 大的企業，22 家總部位於台北市，且多數為金融業。
有趣的是，台灣經濟命脈仰賴國際貿易的收入支撐，
但是金融中心並非在最大的港口城市高雄市。

There are currently 31 companies listed in the Fortune 500,
22 of which are headquartered in Taipei, most of them are in the financial
industry. Interestingly, Taiwan’s economic depends heavily on the
income of international trading. However, the financial centre is not
situated in Kaohsiung, the largest port city in Taiwan.

對岸的中國在改革開放後，產業聚落也多圍繞在大都會，但金融業中指標性的四大銀行
（Big Four），中國工商銀行 ICBC，中國農業銀行ABC，中國銀行 BOC，
中國建設銀行 CCB，其總部全位於政治經濟中心北京市，而非上海。

After China’s reform, industries congregated mostly around the metropolis.
On the other hand, the four major banks of the Chinese financial industry
(Big Four), namely the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC),
Agricultural Bank of China (ABC), Bank of China (BOC),
and China Construction Bank (CCB), their headquarters are all located
in the political and economic centre in Beijing, rather than Shanghai.

兩岸的區域發展模式看似類似，但如果我們觀察台灣的區域失衡，影響層面相當廣泛，

take on a similar model, however if we take a closer look at Taiwan’s regional
imbalances, we would see that its impacts are observable on a several levels,
such as the industrial structure, salary, education, the environment,
birth rate, public infrastructure allocation and population migration
from the central and south to the north of Taiwan. This has caused the
loss of young labour force in the countryside to the city.
Though, this phenomenon may also be related to the lack of
long-term comprehensive territorial planning.
