Taiwan is much more efficient with water because it is in an area with high water scarcity. I did not know that, and assumed it was quite water rich.

...and if the West sides with Taiwan if China decides to invade it, we will see a repeat of Putin's strategy of limiting export of vital noble gases. Team human doesn't work well when we cannot collaborate

Anthony Costello. (2021, February 7). There is a lot of nonsense about Zero Covid being an extreme position, only possible in repressive states (er..S Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Norway, Finland, NZ??) and our UK strategy reflects a more sensible centrist view. So compare the UK with successful countries...(1) [Tweet]. @globalhlthtwit. https://twitter.com/globalhlthtwit/status/1358382786114183171

Adam Kucharski. (2021, March 24). This is an interesting perspective on Taiwan (& glad it mentions data/privacy), although I’d like to see more references to what local officials were actually saying about approach in real-time, rather than what UK-based researchers later say it was: Https://t.co/FDu0mQoISh 1/ [Tweet]. @AdamJKucharski. https://twitter.com/AdamJKucharski/status/1374638777814167555

Taiwan's goals on becoming a pan-Asian identity through decreasing its dependence on Mainland China may not have been the best or well thought out plan. This is because it can cause a lot of negative outcomes. One reason may be that the US does not recognise Taiwan's Independence, ending all diplomatic relations with them but not with China. This is a prime example of how even though Taiwan is looking for change and trying to become pan-Asian, the rest of the world may not share their ideology.

Taiwan and its attempts to legitimise itself as a sovereign state seperate from china -

"Trump infuriated China’s leadership when he spoke to Tsai on the phone and later made separate comments questioning the longstanding “one China” policy, under which the US notionally accepts Beijing’s view that Taiwan is part of China. The US does not officially host Taiwanese leaders. Taiwan has been self-governing and de facto independent since the end of China’s civil war. Beijing regards it as a renegade province".

Tsai Ing-wen

This article initially caught my eye because it originated from an institution in Taiwan and was published by a British journal. I was intrigued by the chance to read an international perspective on constructivist instruction.
