Why a place called Taiwan which has a corrupt, multi-party
political system could have a strong economy (several times the
size of Singapore's) and a formidable electronics sector ??
This question makes me a bit confused. Anyone smarter
could offer an answer?
1. Taiwan is many times bigger, got domestic market.
2. Taiwan started with educated people from all over China. They
started economic building when Jiang Jin Guo tookover. Later, LKY
had to learn from him.
3. Taiwan look towards USA, rising economy after WW2. Singapore
looked towards the UK, setting economy after WW2.
4. Taiwanese businessmen moved to China when domestic market
saturated. Singaporeans waited for the government to take the
lead.
5. Taiwanese started with many SME, home is upstair of factory.
Singaporeans began business by paying rent, to JTC.
6. Taiwanese speaks good mandarin, a little Japanese, poor
english. Singaporean speaks good singlish, poor mandarin.
7. Taiwanese government linked to the black society and pay them
money. Singapore government linked to business and take away the
business, and money.
8. Taiwanese politicians take money for themselves and their
families, Singapore politicians take money for the country,
including themselves.

Taiwan is Taiwan, Singapore is Singapore.
Is Korea corrupt, is Japan corrupt, is USA corrupt?
don't need to be smart to know the answer.
