Should Washington throw the Chinese dog a Taiwanese bone? That is the

little Taiwan – with just 23m people – is too big an irritant in Sino-US

令不少外國人摸不著頭腦。
台灣TVBS報道，近兩日島內熱烈討論這句口號，有外籍電台主持猜測可能在「Taiwan」
和「Up」之間有些英文字該亮卻未亮。有遊客表示，當晚以為口號是「What's up in
Taiwan？」（台灣發生什麼事），或者是「Taiwan, bottoms up」（台灣乾杯）的意思
。更有遊客以為是內衣廣告。有外國人說，想表達台灣奮起、加油等意思，應該要說「
