Features: How do Taiwanese businesses see the "dream factory" in mainland China? From Beijing to the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, and across South Korea and Japan, the characteristics of high-tech industries in Asia are enumerated one by one. The information industry, digital competition, and electronic technology achievements are bringing vibrant vitality to the Asian economy! Most of the output value of Taiwan's information industry comes from its external production sites, with mainland China being the most important production base for Taiwanese businesses: labor-intensive computer component production has long been scarce in Taiwan; scanners with complete production and sales systems have shifted their focus to Dongguan and Suzhou; and the pride of Taiwan—the production of laptops—has also moved to mainland China. As the output value of the "new industry" is about to surpass its own, how should Taiwan face this transformation with a new mindset? Since 1988, the author has visited mainland China multiple times to explore the new dynamics of cross-strait economic development. In this book, he records his emotional fluctuations under the titles "A Technologically Advanced China," "An Ancient China in a New Century," "China's Brand Dream," "Rise of the East," and "Mainland China's Challenges and Taiwan's Path."
