I went to Taiwan for the first time after years of hearing nothing but good stuff about it from friends and it truly does feel like a parallel world version of Japan dubbed in Mandarin/Hokkien. From the High Speed Rail (their 'Shinkansen') to the cities, many spots feel like Japan in the 90s, while also having lots of unique stuff too like their night markets. The people were all super nice and the food was awesome - and insanely cheap! Definitely recommend Taiwan!

Taiwan's donation to the 2011 earthquake was the 2nd highest by country, just shy of the US. but the biggest difference was the U.S. donation was mostly funded by the government, while the Taiwanese donation was mostly funded through private donations. i guess it shows an enormous amount of goodwill towards the Japanese people. Of course taiwanese people are grateful for Japan's covid-19 vaccine donations to taiwan and japanese politicians' support for taiwan on the international stage, despite political pressures from China. i guess there is a bond built on helping each other in times of need. it also helps that taiwan is probably the weeb-est country out there 😀

Quite a few older gen Taiwanese people were actually grateful to the Japanese for improving their lives.

This is so interesting! In my youth, I spent a couple of years in Taiwan during college, to study Mandarin, but at that time, it was still under martial law and many aspects of the culture were tightly controlled. For example, the ROC government did not want the island to be taken over by Japanese culture, so they limited the amount of Japanese movies & TV shows, to encourage a more local, domestic Chinese culture to flourish. The ROC people, mostly mainlanders, naturally were also very distrustful of Japan, having fought (and lost) a terrible war against both them and the Communists. But the native Taiwanese had a certain nostalgia for the Japanese colonial era; among other things, they told me "there was no crime. If someone committed a crime, he was taken out and shot." The older people all could speak Japanese because they had to learn it in school between 1895 and 1945. Thus, when they saw a foreigner, they might speak Japanese, because that was the foreign language they knew. And of course, no one could visit mainland China at that time. I went into Guangdong from Hong Kong and brought back pictures, and friends in Taiwan were really interested to see them. Now I am dying to go back to Taiwan, with my family, and see how much things have changed. Democracy, relations with the mainland, food, culture, and just to see the people again! Thanks for this great report.

It was common knowledge that Japan was the better advanced modern country. Despite all the rebelling, many locals agreed because they actually wanted to send their child to a Japanese school. A lot of Taiwanese and Chinese travelled to Japan to attend university. You go there to study and get education, come back to Taiwan so you can make more money. Even Chiang Kai-shek got his education in Japan. Nobody travelled to China to study because obviously the state was in a civil war at that time.

It just sounds the same for any Asian especially for a 90s kid Asian American... closest form of entertainment we would connect with would be Japanese Anime or Drama, and the Japanese snacks I always get growing up in the Asian markets. My grandparents always had Japanese anime/show while I was growing up, or it'll just be some random Asian show. In my teens, there was a Asian American network called MTV Chi that played a bunch of Mandopop/Kpop/Jpop or Jrock, that's where I could enjoy a lot of amazing Japanese artists, like Gackt, Bump of Chicken, Ayumi Hamasaki, Amuro Namie, Asian Kung-fu Generation, etc. and my favorite Drama of all times had to be My Boss My Hero which I probably rewatched over 10x. Honestly, Japanese was the popular form of entertainment until like 8th grade middle school is where I kind of shifted to Kpop/drama because of my gf but I never left my love for Jpop/Jrock. I kind of miss the songs I listened to back then and I can't even remember them all since youtube shifted to a weird search algorithm, so I'm not able to search for some content I wanted nostalgia. With that being said, I think I witness enough to tell how much Taiwan loves Japan, JRE (JAV event), locals fluency in Japanese, Japanese anime everywhere, Japanese companies and stores everywhere, just everywhere you get a mix of Japanese vibe going on while keeping their heritage as Taiwanese or Chinese... whatever not to be political, I'm talking about the Taiwanese culture as in how it blends with the aboriginals.

This is one of the biggest differences between Asia and places like Europe and Latin America. Asian people feel like in order to befriend someone, their country has to have great relationships with the country of the other person. In Latin America, they befriend another person simply because the person seems friendly, regardless of their country. I guess it's because Asians feel so identified with their place, they are like military of their country. It's like they need to be involved in some kind of social structure in order to be able to do anything. Also, Taiwanese people are friendly and warm only compared to Japanese people. They are not so open or friendly when compared to other countries.

Group identity is way more important in Eastern Asia. In those countries, a business card has the name of the company first, followed by the title, then the name at the end, which is the reverse of Western countries which put name first, then title, then company name. Also, Family name comes first, then given name, again the reverse of Western countries, because which family you belong to is more important.

Despite the big difference between them they have a strong bond to each other. Taiwanese wanted to move to Japan: That's valid of course, don't listen to those people rambling on the past that has nothing to do with the video, comment down below if you're in Japan now Tawanese citizens. My thoughts on respectful languange in Japan: Hats off to you Japan! Japanese people educated the soeity well concerning on respect, even they have various bows to show respect towards elders and the people who are inside of the vieccle, they bow as well we are on the same page on Japan sis Japan is the very best when it comes to respect. Any thoughts? As somone from Indonesia i have a soft spot for Japan so much. How about you? My thoughts on anime: Anime has been arounr for a long time existed around the world including In Indonesia you know. Today i've watched Doraemon the movie titled The secrets gadgets of the Museum on a free streaming anime site hehe.😂 Note: Is important to note that every country has their own flaws notthing is perfect so we knowlage it with some offers of suggestion so that Japan could be better in the future in terms of everything every little bit improvement is encential to be appreciated and loved by us.

A lot of older Gen Taiwanese really appreciated the technological advancements that the Japanese did to Taiwanese economy. My grandmother lived through that period and she speaks fluent Japanese, as Japanese was mandatory second language in schools that time. Most Taiwanese who dislike Japan are the KMT expats who fled from Communist rule in mainland China. Since the sino Japanese war and WW2 was mainly fought between the KMT and Imperial Japan.

If they can use censorship and hatred against anything that represents the freedom that Japan and Taiwan have, freedom they plan to supress, they will do it. Cultural elements such as fanfiction or fan art are also being targeted, as anything that opposes to them, be it weeb culture, or even mere drawings. An artist was arrested and they used and abused copyright laws against that person. That's 1984 level of censorship and control, they would control what people may or not be able to think if they could.

You’d be shot if you even looked at them the wrong way. My father (a child at the time) benefitted from the improvements to education and other infrastructure and had japanese friends, so his view of them differed. This generation is the current elder population, so their viewpoint is positive. The generation before was not so positive about Japan as they experienced the brutality of war.

But long term they could focus more on automating more and more stuff with robots / machines so they are less dependant on people to do the work as suggested in an earlier video. There are jobs that can't be done by machines but maybe they would be able to deal with the current situation on their own that way.

I am a Taiwanese and there are some resemblances but Taiwanese and Japanese are entirely different. Taiwan men are mostly mama boys and lack of independent and often chauvinistic

I am Taiwanese here as well, I hate to say this but I agree 😅 Many Taiwanese men are, unfortunately, attached to their mom. Taiwanese moms can be controlling and domineering as well. The exceptions are those Taiwanese men who can live independently or abroad to gain some life experience while thinking for themselves and not under their mom's shadows.

Chinese and Korean men are mama's boys, just like Taiwanese men. Japan is clearly different in East Asia. Also, Japan is the only country in East Asia that does not have a lady-first culture.Confucian influence?

It was so nice to see a Japanese woman looking Japanese... These days all of them do plastic surgery and so they look really Korean, which is sad because Japanese, Chinese and Korean have different eye shapes and it is what makes them look different ethnically

These days ?? Which country are you talking about ? In Japan there are only few people who do plastic surgeries to begin with. Most of them are hostesses, gyaru and a few actresses like Asuka Kirara. And they don't do plastic surgeries to look like Korean btw. They prefer the looks of the perfect gyaru. I have been in Japan forever and I never meet anyone with plastic surgeries other than those in the categories that I mentioned. And even most actresses here don't do plastic surgeries because people will bash them for that as most Japanese still don't accept them.

Your video provided an insight into why China wants Taiwan back, perhaps it felt that Taiwan was being influenced by Japan and being taken over in some way.

As an American I am surprised by this. I figured that Taiwanese might have a similar view of Japanese as mainland Chinese, or Koreans. Given Japanese imperialism during WWII.

No they don't. Taiwan and a few polynesian islands are the exception. Korea, China, Philippines and many more do not love Japan's occupation era. Okinawa, which is currently part of Japan but used to be an independent country, also doesn't like Japan, they're basically the Tibet of Japan.

@@noseboop4354 unlike you I have met people from that part of the world, being from Australia people from those places often come to Australia and often talk about how much they love Japan. Also being 38 I have met people who have lived or were closely related to a person who lived during the Japanese occupation that have said that have fondness for Japanese things. Part of the reason that Anime got so popular in south-east Asia is because many younger people were encouraged to seek out Japanese culture by their older peers. This isn't to say nothing bad happen during the war, war is a horrible thing.

However, many Japanese people feel that each person is responsible for their own life problems and so does not seek to assist them. There is high suicide rate, and homelessness in Japan because of this. There is also much bullying and molestation. Does Taiwan share the same social problems too?

I don't think it's correct to say Japan and Taiwan love each other... It's more like Japan not paying whole lot attention to Taiwan while Taiwan worshiping Japan, which I find kind of cringeworthy....Formerly colonized people/countries usually have somewhat ambivalent attitude toward their colonial masters, but Taiwan seems to be a unique case.. Taiwanese people actively supported the Imperial Japanese armed forces that killed millions of Chinese people (basically their brothers and sisters in the mainland), and astoundingly they are proud of it even to this day as to build a memorial for the effort... Could anybody explain why this is so?

Because over a million Japanese worked in Taiwan industries during the Japanese rule. They helped modernize Taiwan industries. Taiwan was acquired by legal means after the Treaty of Shimonoseki. It was not an illegal invasion. It was supported by countries like US and Britain. Modern eastern Asian culture has its source in Japan. Simply because it was the most advanced nation and the ones who had the opportunity to develop it firsthand. The reason why many Chinese supported the Japanese government was because the CCP, KMT and the Qing dynasty obliterated and destroyed everything that made China so great. The atrocities ended up being a lie written by the GHQ. The Taiwanese conveyed that accurately to future generations while the Chinese and Koreans twisted it.

@@tejave0ojnc I'm not here to do your homework. When Japan colonized Taiwan, it handled a large number of reclamation and immigration, and allocated land. At its peak, it contained a total of millions of people in other industries. If all the Japanese returns to Japan after its defeat and surrender, it will have nothing to live on the streets. Therefore, many Japanese immigrants have adopted Han names and continue to hold colonial land assets in Taiwan. Now they are all descendants of large landholders.

All Japanese living in Korea and parts of China (more specifically Manchuria) during the colonial period left for Japan after WWII...why is Taiwan, which was returned to China after the war, any different? The fact that some Chinese people are so irrationally filled with self-hatred and worship Japan at the same time is pretty embarrassing...
