Location of Taiwan and nearby islands

Taiwan is a stable industrial economy as a result of economic growth and industrialization during the late 20th century, often referred to as one of the Four Asian Tigers along with Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea. It is a member of both the World Trade Organization and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation under various names due to its ambiguous political status. As the 20th largest economy in the world as of 2023, its high-tech industry plays a key role in the global economy.
