TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Taiwan Asia Exchange Foundation (TAEF) on Wednesday (Oct. 20) released its investigative report on the image of Taiwan and Taiwanese businesses in Thailand, showing that an overwhelming number of those surveyed have a positive view of the East Asian nation.

 

TAEF launched the poll earlier in the year, surveying 121 Thai corporate executives who have dealings with Taiwanese businessmen. Most respondents saw Taiwan as having respect for the rule of law, as having progressive health care, and as being a friendly place, according to Kristy Hsu, the TAEF senior fellow who conducted the survey.

 

With regard to the overall image of a country, Taiwan placed second out of 11, with Japan having the best reputation and the United States coming in third, she said. Meanwhile, 92% said they were familiar with Taiwan, listing innovation, advanced technologies, and gourmet food as the most well-known things about the nation.

Pretty sure if the masters said they could have tourists or Taiwan trade they'd chooses the masters offer

Thai people regard Taiwan for it's economic power and it's reputation of being a country that is involved in high technology production . ( Most semi-conductors are produced in Taiwan ) .

It's difficult political situation regarding Xi's ' one China ' policy is not so well known by the general thai population .

That there is a risk of a potential war that is unfolding in the SCS , and the consequences of that , seem of not much importance .

When the Chinese invasion of Taiwan gets under way (probably over and done with in about 2 days), Thailand will wait to see who's winning before taking sides.

Try asking in the survey 'who do you think Thailand will back Taiwan or China when/if the crunch comes ?'

im sure the taiwanese are so relieved,what they think of thailand,that would be far more interesting and having spent some time there the truth would be quite unpalatable to the image obsessors but that would be exactly right.whats the truth nahhhh its all about how self important i am.bin these garbage surveys
