Is Taiwan considered a developed country?
Most answers are irrelevant because they talk about politics instead of what Taiwan is, a first world nation. What makes a country? A country has a president and it’s own government. Taiwan is completely sovereign and has no influence from China. Taiwan also has its own president. Given those facts, how anyone else could question the validity of Taiwan as a country is ridiculous.When you apply for a visa to visit Taiwan, can you also visit China without applying for a Chinese visa? If the answer is no, then you know Taiwan is a different country. Now let’s get to the question itself.Is Taiwan a developed country? Of course it is. It ranks top 25 out of over 196 countries in the world according to its HDI. The Taiwanese society is forward thinking and tolerates differences more than Korea and Japan. Standard of living is high and major international tech brands like MSI, Acer, ASUS and HTC are founded by Taiwanese in Taiwan.
