Pingtung, southern Taiwan, March 3 (CNA) Republic of China Vice President Annette Lu said in Pingtung Sunday that the government has decided to help local enterprises establish plants in the country's diplomatic allies in Latin America.
She made the remarks while delivering a speech at a Rotary Club meeting at National Pingtung Normal College.
Lu said that she is worried about the fact that more and more local manufacturers are going to set up plants in mainland China.
