I lived in Taiwan for work from 1999-2013, and they work so hard and things are always happening. I moved back to Canada from 2013-now and nothing really happens here. No new large scale constructions, no new hospitals, no new bridges. The government in Canada produces no jobs for people, so no one likes to go out and spend money. I’m now in Taiwan for vacation, and they’re still working and innovating. Very exciting here

[@mikslids7083]

Taiwan manufactures the world's most advanced AI chips and pairs them with semiconductor components, high-speed multi-layer printed circuit boards resistant to electromagnetic interference and noise, and all electronic, electrical, and precision mechanical structural components for the production of AI data center servers. These components include cooling systems and energy-saving power management systems. The fully automated and intelligent production, testing, and assembly lines produce AI data center servers, with each set valued at over US$3 million (NT$100 million). Fifty sets, loaded onto a cargo plane, amount to US$150 million, destined for export to markets in the US, Europe, Japan, Korea, India, and Middle Eastern oil-producing countries. The export of 50 sets of AI data center servers, valued at US$150 million, by one cargo plane to overseas markets is equivalent to exporting 10,000 automobiles, 5,000 electric vehicles, 250,000 iPhones, 300,000 to 400,000 sets of high-end home appliances, or launching the SpaceX Falcon rocket three times or five sets of Starlink satellites in low earth orbit. Mastering complete and advanced chip manufacturing technology means mastering the advanced electronic industry, creating wealth tens of times greater than traditional manufacturing industries. This is the main reason why Taiwan can outpace global industrial nations.

[@momotpe-rj5gh]

Taiwan is a small, densely populated region where many workers earn low wages, around $3 an hour. TSMC, despite its role in producing semiconductors, is often overvalued in its importance. Its work is similar to manufacturing basic products like toasters, with little brand value. The company’s profits rely heavily on expensive equipment that will eventually lose value. Manufacturing technology has rarely been a lasting economic advantage-true progress comes from innovation. While manufacturing improvements require money, real innovation takes years of strong education and a more open, collaborative mindset, not isolation and self-praise.

[@JonahTsai]

@@momotpe-rj5gh Please google before you spill out nonsense. A quick google search will give you Taiwan’s 2024 minimum wage is USD $5.88, and will increase to $5.94 in 2025. Stop using china’s propaganda numbers on Taiwan will do you some good.

As a 27-year-old Taiwanese young man, I agree that Taiwan outperforms Japan in a few GDP figures. However, I personally think that Taiwan in fact lags behind Japan in so many aspects. For example, infrastructure, traffic, cleanliness, and especially the “software” aspect of a society, like how well people follow rules. For people who used to live in Japan, it could be annoying that pavements in Taiwan are usually blocked by personal stuff from people living aside. We can lift our GDP figures and average salary in a few decades, yet improving the civic awareness in our society to the level of Japan could take a much longer time. Of course, I am proud to see that, through a few decades of hard work, Taiwan has risen to become an indispensable player of the semiconductor supply chain and is able to be more supportive to the international community. However, I hope that in the future when people around the world mention Taiwan, semiconductor or TSMC is not the only reason of significance.

Traffic it's better in Japan

[@於睦程]

I thought this video going to tell the baseball game that Taiwan vs Japan in 12 champions..... It's actually important that rise of economy will positively affect sport development as well.

[@龍文徐]

無英文字幕?

[@INDIANSARESICKMENOFASIA]

The number of bots under the comments section is insane. Do these so called "Taiwanese" know anything about their colonial history and their roots, family, ethnic, or cultural origins?

[@BackHandgun]

我們和日本一直都是友好的關係,不管是誰超越誰都沒事

[@yaya5tim]

😂我怎麼覺得這部影片是故意要破壞台灣跟日本之間的羈絆跟感情? 我們大概是東亞甚至整個亞洲裡，相處最和諧的兩個國家，兩國人民的文化跟思維相比全世界各地，基本上非常的接近，我對於日本跟日本人並不會有那種想要擊敗他們的心態存在，在棒球上可能會希望可以達到跟他們勢均力敵的程度，但我不會覺得我要至霸，在其他方面，我覺得台灣一直以來都在跟日本學習，有些部分我們已經成為雙向合作，少部分例如半導體，我們才變成反向輸入日本，但我也不會覺得我們在"overtaking Japan"，影片標題不要那麼悚動，沒有人要overtake其他人 在海外，台灣人跟日本人的婚姻很常見，我自己家人就有台日婚姻，我的小表妹是個台日混血美國人，我人生的第一份工作是美國的日本拉麵店，老闆的妹妹是負責外場服務的日本人，她也是跟台灣裔的日本人(第二代台裔日本人)結婚，也常常去台灣，我媽媽的老闆是台灣人，也是跟日本老婆結婚，我們在海外是非常合得來的兩個族群，沒有誰比較優越這種事

[@newworldhello]

What text-to-speech app was used to make this video?

[@yannpoco]

GDP Doesn't really tell us anything, the author probably hasn't been to the ROC or Japan, it's a worthless video generated with AI.

[@jackhsu9161]

I think Taiwan and Japen to cooperate together will keep going up in the future. We can help each other.

[@praveenanuraj]

You cannot compare taiwan or china with Japan. Japan has real technology. They show their expertise when it is required. Not simply having Gdp and production masters country. Japan is like Europia country like France, German England. If real situation arises they show their technology.

[@ted9111]

Taiwan minimum wage 845.71(dollars),Japan 1167.98 So,the relatively high average salary is obviously due to the serious inequality between rich and poor in Taiwan.

[@mister_9523]

The dollars you mean are of US dollars?

[@ted9111]

@mister_9523 US,year.

[@jeromebesson]

Taiwan wakes up each morning to greet the rising sun. Korea should learn from Taiwan. Japan needs to shed its war guilt syndrome. And when realism strikes, Taiwan, Korea and Japan are poised to join force, reunite and "Make the Empire Great Again" (M.E.G.A). "Honni Soit Qui Mal Y Pense.” Please, read the comments first. That’s my kind of Taiwan. The author of the video intended to stir up bile, but he reached the wrong audience. Taiwanese and Japanese commenters schooled him.

[@kellychiustar]

很清楚的分析台日歷史上的經濟關係，但，台灣不止台積電，還有很多厲害的產業，只是，台灣通常很低調，也很努力，謝謝您的分析

[@afizi1213]

8:54 its aa one inisiative to help japan comeback they eletronik device such as sony camera and many else so its very helpfull for japan as we know this country is in one ideologi kapitalisme

[@tc7868]

數字不代表全面 日本的優點還是很多

[@tinymurky7329]

Those GDP are all in house market, which is a giant bubble, not generate by real industry

[@johnnytsui7521]

Not just semiconductors. Taiwan just beat Japan in baseball a week ago.

[@moneywang1627]

Sorry, I am a Taiwanese and don’t agree your point of view at all.

[@Mike111Chou]

Chip making? Yes anything else? Absolutely not

[@ALANIT-pt2xe]

I am a Taiwanese, I think Japanese is the most ourstanding people in the world , they are smarter than Taiwanese , Korean, Chinese ... etc in general. Their biggest problem that Japan old custom and ideas that hinder its developement. E.X. The junior staff must follow and obey the decision from senior staff , the business decision can not be made in a quick way instead going through long internal discussion.

[@quyenluong3705]

They’re the most cruel ppl in the world. As an oversea Chinese, Taiwanese ppl like you who embrace Japanese despite of their previous actions that they didn’t even apologize for are a disgrace to all Chinese across the globe.

[@アリス-i5w]

お前日本人だろw

[@Switch_emu]

​@@アリス-i5w 登録してるチャンネルが繁体字ばっかりだから多分本物の台湾人。

[@LuChuan-Jie]

台灣真的進步好多，只希望中國不要再威脅我們了

[@oliverli2206]

While Taiwan has been steadily making progress, Japan is ahead of Taiwan in almost all aspects.

[@HuikoTu]

Yes, other than semiconductor industry

[@kenho3201]

Taiwan is a small but very powerful country.
