“Three countries are new to the global top 25. The first, Austria, made an impressive
advance of 5 spots to rank 23rd. Norway also registered a massive increase, now
ranking 24th after jumping 7 spots this year. Closing the top 25 global countries is
Taiwan, advancing one spot after most of its second tier cities experienced substantial
growth.”
“Some new entrants to the top 200 cities this year include Winnipeg, Canada (ranked
192nd), Sankt Gallen, Switzerland (193rd), Oulo, Finland (195th), Hshinchu, Taiwan
(196th), and Stavanger, Norway (198th).”

Japan is 20 and Taiwan 25? BS. I’ve started companies in both and Taiwan is far better for startups. Less bureaucracy, lower costs, larger labor supply, and a much more extensive supplier base.
Taiwan is insanely easy to setup. Only 1 single document needs to be done by a cpa. Everything else can be done by oneself for under 100 usd. Finding funding and all that is fairly variable. Setup is super easy in taiwan now. Even without a place, it can be rented fairly cheap.
Thanks for the information, now I know what Northern Taiwan think of Japan, seems here in Southern Taiwan do not think Japanese hate. 100X times more is a lot.
They do have laws, when I go home I will check them?
Well i see lot more foreingers working in 7-11, Family, Lawasons ect, very few in Taiwan. In fact in hometown area in Japan a lot of retail workers speak Chinese, or other Asian languages from there homelands)
Japan lacks any law which prohibits racial, ethnic, or religious discrimination. The country also has no national human rights institutions.[3] Non-Japanese individuals in Japan often face human rights violations that Japanese citizens may not.[4] In recent years, non-Japanese media has reported that Japanese firms frequently confiscate the passports of guest workers in Japan, particularly unskilled laborers.[5][6]
