If you appreciate quality products, buying "Made in Taiwan" is a great choice. Unfortunately, it isn't always easy to find such products -- even if you live in Taiwan.
China, our neighbor across the Strait, floods the market with goods which are not necessarily cheap but which are often inferior, sometimes even poisonous. Nothing of that nature is worth any amount of money you may save.
