Taipei, Taiwan

Taiwan is economically a fast growing nation with a living standard compatible with Japan. The country was once under Dutch occupation (1622-1652) and Japanese rule (1895-1943), with a nickname "Formosa" given by the earlier Portuguese settlers for its beauty.  Taiwan is a democratic nation officially known as the Republic of China (ROC). The Chinese Communist took over the Mainland China in 1949 and established the People’s Republic of China.  The Nationalist Party relocates the central government of the ROC to Taipei, Taiwan since then.  As evident, the Taiwanese system is influenced by many cultures and its establishments are waiting for us to explore.

Hong Kong

Hong Kong has a population about seven millions with an area of 426 square miles.  The area is highly crowded by its population and limited living space. Hong Kong is a major financial capital and business hub in the Southeast Asia. It is well known for its economic freedom because of its free trades, low taxation, simple business regulation, flexible labor markets and many others. Hong Kong was ruled by the British government between 1842 and 1997, then returned to China. Hong Kong is thus well known for its identity as a place where east meets west.  These inter-cultural impacts are reflected on many social and cultural systems in Hong Kong.
