Reading guide
Robin cites The Economist’s observation that Taiwan benefited from the preceding five years’ AI boom, with its stock-market capitalization increasing at a rate second only to Nasdaq in the United States, the origin of the boom. He adds that it is reasonable to call Taiwan the largest beneficiary outside the United States, while noting that the benefit is highly concentrated in the foundations of Taiwan’s core competitive strengths. The figures are quotations reflecting their original time, not current facts.
