I think I should answer this question. I am the one who picks the targets; it's not Sean.
We reduced it in order to give it to other missions that had applications where processing was longer, in order to reduce the processing time where it was longer and where we had larger inventory. For instance, we have increased significantly the target for China. Part of it came from Taiwan. What we hope is that it will reduce the processing time in China, where we have a far larger number than we have in Taipei, and far older applications. In Taipei we have the applications, as Sean described, that are processing very recently. They just submitted the applications. We still have a lot of applications for parents and grandparents: 1,700, 1,800 in China. That is why we do transfer target space from one mission to the next, in order to help the other mission.
The processing time is going to get longer in Taiwan because their target is lower, and it's going to get shorter in China because we increased the target. There is a match between the two.
