I've been in most of East Asia and the Taiwanese people are some of the most kindest straight forward people I've ever met.

I am a very lucky Taiwanese, borne in the mid of 50's, grew up with the growing prosperity of this country, and had contributed my tiny part for it.

10 years ago we hosted a foreign exchange student from Taiwan. At the time his family had one factory in Taiwan, they own several in China and Taiwan. They are an honest hardworking family I wish him and his family well.

Taiwanese here . ❤❤❤❤ Thank you.

As a Taiwanese, the history and economy of Taiwan you explained is accurate and intact. How ever I have to say, Taiwan today is facing a big inequality, low wages, and high inflation problems. Lot’s of young Taiwanese graduated from university, but still finding jobs with only 1200 dollars per month or so, and rent for a small “shoebox” in Taipei city can be up to 500 or 600 dollars per month. This led to a low birth rate(even lower than South Korea) .

You made a magnificent video. I am always proud of my grandparent's generation that they turned Taiwan into a developed state. One thing you made clear about Taiwan is that the true power of Taiwan's economy is not based on the huge state-supported companies (like Japan, South Korea and China), but thousands of small scale manufacturing companies which were the product of both land reform and industrialization in the 60s. One of the main reason why TSMC/UMC model is hard to replicate in other countries is because you cannot find this eco-system, which those small scale manufacturing companies played a critical role for TSMC/UMC in supporting their FABs. TSMC and UMC can easily build FABs in other countries, but however, without this ecosystem, it will not be successful and efficient as in Taiwan.

Taiwan rich?

Yes, Taiwan's wealth and rapid growth mainly occurred 30 to 40 years ago. The social environment at that time was that as long as you worked hard to start a business, you could make a lot of money.

Taiwan became richer than China because of the following 3 reasons: Reason 1: Taiwan stole most of china’s gold and half of china’s priceless antiques. Reason 2:Japan helped Taiwan broke the covert sanction on technology imposed by America. Japan was helping china at the same time around the 80’s. it appeared that Japan was expecting that once Taiwan, china and japan united, together they could break out from the oppression by America. This is evident from the fact that Japan actually did get China’s ok before export the sanction-busting computer to Taiwan. Reason 3: Taiwan back stable Japan by going back to America(just like china did in wwii by turning Christian and joining the allies, instead of fighting along Japan like the buddhist Asian nations for asia liberation.) In fact, Taiwan also caused the untimely death of two of the contributor in breaking the American sanction - one by heart attack, the other from a brain tumor, not to mention the accelerated economic downturn of Japan. With the America technology and Taiwanese funds and talents, taiwan (and korea) pulled ahead of Japan and china. 日本人曾经在台湾进行经济建设，那里交通发达，良好的基础设施有利于国民党东山再起。 1949年1月20日，这一批90多万两的黄金白银在吴嵩庆的指挥下被运上两艘海军运输舰， 他启用民航的飞机来往运送黄金，在两天之内持续将48万两黄金运到台湾。 1949年5月17日码头上细雨蒙蒙，上海警备司令汤恩博又奉蒋介石的命令，陆续派人从中国银行的保险库中运走黄金19.8万多两，银元约120万元。 《人民日报》曾经根据历史资料报道称，国民党撤离大陆之前，先后实际运送到台湾的黄金有277.5万两，银元1520万元。 蒋介石偷运黄金的事情先后被国内外媒体曝光，人民对于蒋介石的无耻行为十分愤怒。 黄竞武一心保卫人民和国家的财产，他说：“如果解放的是一座空空如也的上海城，那怎么养活600万人口？”但是不幸的事情发生了，黄竞武的爱国行为被国民党特务察觉。 1949年5月12日他被国民党保密局特务绑架后不知下落，直到5月27日上海解放后，黄竞武的遗体才在国民党保密局监狱里被发现。 经过几次的搬运，国民政府的仓库黄金几乎被搬空了，只剩下不到20万两黄金。 国民党政府运走的这些黄金是从民众手里抠出来的血汗钱，正如蒋介石之子蒋经国所说：“每一个铜钱敲开来都是血。” 1948年8月国民党政府给老百姓发行金圆券，这使得民众手中的大量黄金被收归国有，而到了1949年老百姓手中的金圆券一文不值。 运到台湾后成为蒋介石重新起家的“本钱”，用来发放军饷、稳定大局后来这笔黄金对于台湾的经济飞速发展起了重大的作用。 台湾大学 远在台湾的故宫文物 蒋介石不甘心轻易败给共产党，为撤离到台湾做了全方位的准备，搜刮了很多大陆的珍贵资源。 除了黄金，故宫博物院的大量文物也被蒋介石运到台湾，而且他专门挑选最有特色的精品。被带走的文物总计高达5496箱。 第二次运载的文物尤为重要，其中包括了一批宋元瓷器的精品和远古的青铜器。更令当代大陆学者惋惜的是，蒋介石运走了文渊阁《四库全书》中缮写最完整的一部。 在第三次运输时，解放军即将进入南京，民众们不愿帮助国民党将文物搬到船上，人群蜂拥而至阻止国民党的行动，码头上一片混乱，他们勉强装载了不到六成的文物就离开了。 美国在1980年左右曾经想把台湾吃掉。 因此暗地里在科技方面制裁了台湾。 是日本帮我把那制裁破了， 才让蒋经国用了那笔大陆偷去的财产 去达到了了他的十大计划的心愿。 我当时和日本朋友都以为 台湾最终是会和中国统一。 那是因为日本是 得到中国的许可后 才来帮助台湾的。 但结果是蒋经国去世后， 台湾又去投靠了美国， 和出卖了日本和中国。 台湾还害死了两位 帮忙破掉美国制裁的元老。 一位死于心脏病， 另一位，脑瘤。 现在回头一看， 可能是蒋介石的遗嘱， 要蒋经国把台湾 让那里的日本派， 而不是大陆的外省人， 来经营， 才搞成了今天这个局势。

I like your video, it mentioned a lot of history that I learned as a Taiwanese kid. For example, the 2/28 incident 二二八事件, and the ten major construction projects 十大建設

Excellent video!

Taiwan today may also be proud of its medical care system which is among the top of the world in terms of affordability, accessibility and medical quality.

Not me, a tech nerd just now finding out I can have dual citizenship with Taiwan. Hello Taiwan, I really need to start learning about their culture. I know more about Chinese culture than theirs.

China is HUGE. There's little difference if you compare major cities.

We must know TAIWAN is a independent country,not a part of China.

From the history of Taiwan it looks as if they should be their own country. Because otherwise Japanese Chinese and maybe a few others could claim Taiwan as their own sovereign land. No I do see the 1949 invasion of China as the first invasion during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Is a vast difference between those of Chinese Vs. Taiwanese heritage.

Yes I agree, Taiwan, like Singapore as nations, are Rich. HOWEVER, despite the strong economy, the average citizens of both nations have Low spending power due to their LOW wages. I hope this fact is not conveniently overlooked.

How old are you?

In 2020, among the top 100 export enterprises in Chinese Mainland, there will be 31 Taiwanese enterprises, accounting for almost one-third of the total, mainly the subsidiaries of Foxconn, Asustek, Dafeng, Yingyeda, Compal and other giant contract manufacturers in Taiwan, among which the top ten are 6 Taiwanese enterprises, namely, three subsidiaries of Foxconn in Zhengzhou, Shenzhen and Chengdu, two subsidiaries of Asustek in Shanghai and Suzhou, and a subsidiary of Dafeng in Shanghai, Among them, Zhengzhou Foxconn is the enterprise with the highest export amount in Chinese Mainland. However, it is inaccurate to say that Taiwanese enterprises account for "half of the country" in Chinese Mainland, because China's exports are highly fragmented. Taking the first half of this year as an example, there are 506000 foreign trade enterprises with import and export performance in China. Although it is not said that many of them have exports, it can also be seen that the scale of enterprises with exports in Chinese Mainland should be in the hundreds of thousands. In 2020, the total export value of Chinese Mainland's top 100 export enterprises was about 460 billion US dollars, accounting for less than one fifth (18.6%) of China's export of 2.475 trillion US dollars that year, which was not high in fact. We can compare it with another list, On September 18, 2020, sponsored by the China Society for Foreign Economic and Trade Statistics, Hainan International Economic Development Bureau, and Yangpu Economic Development Zone Management Committee The "2020 China Top 500 Foreign Trade Enterprises Ranking Release and Free Trade Innovation and Development (Yangpu) Forum" released the list of top 500 foreign trade enterprises in the "2020 China Top 500 Foreign Trade Research Report" (based on 2019 data), In 2019, the total trade volume of China's top 500 foreign trade enterprises was 1576.914 billion US dollars, of which the total export volume was 652.387 billion US dollars, accounting for 26.1% of China's exports in 2019. It can be seen that the enterprises ranked in the top few hundred in terms of exports actually do not account for a particularly high proportion of China's total exports of goods, as China's state-owned enterprises with export performance can have a scale of several hundred thousand units. According to the analysis of local state-owned enterprises, local private enterprises and foreign enterprises, who is the main export force in Chinese Mainland at present? It is a local private enterprise. A significant change in China's foreign trade over the past decade has been the absolute mainstay of exports. In 2015, the proportion of exports by private enterprises exceeded that of foreign-funded enterprises for the first time, reaching 45.18%, becoming the largest main force of exports. In the same year, the export proportion of foreign-funded enterprises was 44.16%, In the first three quarters of 2022, the export proportion of local private enterprises in China has increased to 60%, an increase of 19.5% compared to the same period last year, while the export proportion of foreign-invested enterprises is 31.2%, an increase of 5.6%, and the remaining less than 10% of exports are mainly contributed by state-owned enterprises. Simply put, at present, the export of domestic enterprises (private enterprises+state-owned enterprises) and foreign enterprises shows a 7:3 relationship, From the perspective of growth rate, it is evident that the proportion of private enterprises' exports is still increasing, and 60% of the export proportion is not the end point. Not only do exports account for 60%, but China's export surplus is mainly created by local private enterprises, rather than foreign enterprises including Taiwanese enterprises or state-owned enterprises. In the first three quarters of 2022, China's total import and export value was 31.11 trillion yuan, an increase of 9.9% compared to the same period last year. Among them, exports reached 17.67 trillion yuan, an increase of 13.8%; Import reached 13.44 trillion yuan, an increase of 5.2%; The trade surplus reached 4.23 trillion yuan, an increase of 53.7%. In the first three quarters of 2022, China's private enterprises imported and exported 15.62 trillion yuan, an increase of 14.5%, accounting for 50.2% of China's total foreign trade value, an increase of 2 percentage points compared to the same period last year. Among them, exports reached 10.61 trillion yuan, an increase of 19.5%, accounting for 60% of the total export value; Import reached 5.01 trillion yuan, an increase of 5.4%, accounting for 37.3% of the total import value. That is to say, the surplus created by private enterprises is 5.6 trillion yuan, which unexpectedly exceeds the total export surplus of 4.23 trillion yuan in China during the same period.

Smaller nations only rely a few conglomerates to support the whole nation. Larger nations demand much more resources than the smaller island nations. When the wealth are distributed among people, the more people will be distributed, the lesser you will get.

I'm Taiwanese and there are two reasons. 1. Hard work 2. Free market.

"😂 In 1949, the KMT lost the civil war to a poorly equipped communist group. They then fled to Taiwan and took everything they needed to rebuild. With the help of the U.S., they were able to rebuild, and TSM was one of the arrangements in the 80s. 😂"

hey there's a typo in the header, it should be "Why Taiwan is So Much Richer Than West Taiwan"

My home appears in this video! It can be seen in the top left corner of the screen at 23:48 , in one of the low houses on a green hill.

The real Taiwanese are the indigenous Taiwanese like the Ami, Atayal, Bunun, Paiwan, Yami, Sediq. The rest are Han Chinese settlers

This is an unbelievably fantastic video, even better than our own textbooks in Taiwan. Our history textbooks didn’t even cover anything after 1990, simply saying “Taiwan became a democracy and a high-tech powerhouse as we know today” and then fast forward to 2016 “we elected our first female president ever”(because she was in power during the time I studied Taiwanese history) Needless to say, this video gave me a good insight of the more recent Taiwanese history.

I strongly recommend you to make another video: how Isreal become so rich than non-Gulf Arabian states. The main reason is that you will find a lot of similarities between Taiwan and Israel, including industrialization after WW2, economical miracle，complicated geopolitics, and most importantly, the role of "new arrivevals" ( mainlander/KMT in Taiwan and European Jews in Isreal). Also the controversial relationship between the not so new arrivals and the "locals"(the Arabian Israelis/local Formosan). In the end, the stories of economical achievements of Taiwan, Israel, Singapore, South Korea and even South Africa in the 90s shared similar stories, which are really interesting stories and still relevant as of today.

When the ROC government (the current Taiwan authority) was defeated in the civil war and retreated to Taiwan province in 1949, it took all of the gold reserve from the other 35 provinces in Mainland China to Taiwan province, as well as most of the best cultural relics of China. The gold ROC stole from the mainland China backed up the issue of NT$ (Taiwan's currency) later. That's the real reason why Taiwan province is richer than Mainland China.

I like your conclusion. My father saved all USD the factory earned and had not exchanged to NTD during late 80s because NTD appreciated so much. I got the chance to study in US because of this USD saving plus he exchanged more USD with less NTD😂. He said it could be the best timing to invest his children to experience overseas life. He really tried to find the light side in the dark conditions.
