Taiwan country brief
With limited resources and a population of 23 million in an area the size of Canterbury, Taiwan is one of Asia’s classic post World War II success stories.
Today, hi-tech businesses account for more than half of Taiwan’s exports. These businesses capitalise on what is arguably Taiwan’s greatest competitive advantage – the ability to rapidly commercialise technology and bring new products to market.
New Zealand's leading exports are beef, dairy products, fruit, timber and electrical machinery. Manufactured and technology exports have increasing importance.
