For anybody interested these are some stats for scooter sales, a VERY BIG BUSINESS in Taiwan.
Yes see all those crappy Kymco scooters parked about.
1 BILLION USD A YEAR business just in Taiwan. One company. 300,000 crappy scooter engines every year sold with no catalytic converters spewing our noxious oxides and particles.
Just on this tiny island Taiwan . Crazy.
I work for a leading high tech scientific US corporation . This number equates to half of our annual sales derived from 140 countries. It is double our annual sales in China across all of our products and services!
China is 267 times bigger than Taiwan with 50 times the population.
This is just to show you how these local companies depends on the Taiwan market.
