Culture of Taiwan

When I was younger, I didn’t quite understand the differences between the Native Taiwanese and Mainlander in Taiwan, where Mainlander referred to Chinese migrants during or after the period of the surrender of Imperial Japan, and World War II. It wasn’t until much later that I understood why Taiwanese divided among themselves.

There is a saying in Taiwan, “Don’t feed a goldfish at the bottom of your glass” meaning that people should bottom up and don’t leave anything in the glass.

First is to show the deepness of the friendship, that is “I can’t drink but for you I’m willing to bottom up so please consider me as your good friend.” Second, people use

From 1979-2000, China pursued a policy this promoted FDI related to export promotion, which contributed to Taiwan and Hong Kong investment, because it helped it helped protect China’s local businesses.
