Except that the source article is exclusively about the problems with tech in China, largely due to government and cultural reasons that have very little to do with Taiwan, and the fiction that there is actually a single China, inclusive of Taiwan, is totally irrelevant.
Taiwan can be just as bad, and salaries are often less than first tier mainland cities (many Taiwanese go to the PRC to work for the money). But ya, the article is not about tech in Taiwan.
