May I ask what your positions are?
Those are fictional numbers 
I’m lucky to have bough Nvidia a few years ago, but I am thinking about reallocating more into good dividend stocks to take advantage of taiwanese tax situation.
You can also start realizing your gains yearly while living in Taiwan (i.e. sell and rebuy) to lock in the current value as cost basis. No need to change into a dividend strategy just because of tax savings.
* all assuming you’re not a US person, of course.

however if you’ve held NVDA for a number of year, you are likely very very overweight right now, nothing wrong with realizing some of those gains and diversifying rather than re-buying… i’m doing somewhat the same
As qwert_zuiop mentioned, if you are a US citizen you would still be liable for your worldwide income.
Specific to dividends, if those are from US stocks and your not a US citizen, then US would withhold 30% taxes, so its not really tax free, 15% withheld if in an ETF in say Ireland for example, so looking for a mix of dividend+capital gains might be the way to go

Looks like the US is planning on introducing additional taxes on foreign investors who receive dividends or other in income from US equities and bonds:
The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a sweeping tax and spending bill that includes the possibility of imposing a progressive tax burden of up to 20% on foreign investors’ passive income, such as dividends and royalties
Morgan Stanley said in a note that the new tax would weaken the dollar, as it would reduce foreign appetite for U.S. assets.
This could mean a comeback of synthetic ETFs which follow an index using swaps instead of buying the underlying assets.
