Yes. But on Taiwan ptt, the tw guys are also self-comforting by the superior to Mainland China's low GDP per capita, ignoring the fact that 3 Chinese provinces, named Guangdong, Shandong, Jiangsu, probobly alos Zhejiang, has surpassed Taiwan in GDP and also neglecting the enlarging gap beween tw and Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore. It's largest enterprise Hon Hai(Foxconn) is still doing the toughest labor intensive OEM, which is considered a sweatshop. The Korea has 3 major exports, named semi-conduct industry, Ship-bulding industry and automobile& heavy equipment industry. While Taiwan can only compete with Korea in Semi-conduct fields, and have few own brand like sumsung. What will you do if the Mainland keep raising its human cost? Move to Vietnam and India? I dont know facing the narrowing gap and stronger China, where is your superior and safty feeling from? You should have more crisis awareness than the Japanese do if you still want to keep "Independent". Or else, your democracy and your Uncle Sam wont help you.
