Taiwan seems to be stagnating and regressing, especially in its vehicle tax system, vehicle registration policies, and modification regulations, which have remained unchanged since 2000 and have only worsened over time. There is a perception of increasing corruption and collusion between government officials and businesses. While there has been some growth in wages, it is considered too small. The only notable advancements are in healthcare and technology, with other aspects showing little improvement. Furthermore, Taiwan's vehicle tax system and registration policies are seen as serious violations of WTO and free trade policies. Comparisons with countries like South Korea highlight Taiwan's poor condition, even when compared to countries like Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia.
