The first Asian democratic country, the people of Taiwan are historically more liberal minded than many of their neighbours. Many nations do not recognise Taiwan’s independence and the country is often referred to as the Republic of China (Taiwan). The politics of Taiwan are a little murky but can be summed up by the fact that it is an independent country yet considered by mainland China to be a part of the People’s Republic of China. A modern and affluent nation, Taiwan is a liberal nation in many respects with aspects of traditionalism. Just 20% of the nation is considered working class and Taiwan is in the world’s top 25 richest countries. Following economic reforms in the 20 th century that led to the ‘Taiwan Miracle’, about a fifth of the country is considered middle class with two-fifths being small business owners, farmers and artisans. Unlike mainland China, the population of Taiwan is largely an affluent one. Home to 23.55 million people, the country of Taiwan is densely populated with major cities like Taichung, Kaohsiung and Taipei being hubs for commerce, industry and tourism. 7 Top Classified/Personals Sites in Taiwan.
