Their climate change has risen by more than double the average country, which means they are not enviro friendly.
If you feel Taiwan is doing such a fine job as a country I’m sure you can find a plane seat to take you their. Just make sure you are willing to deal with the bad as well as all the “wonderful” thet another country had to offer. I fought to protect my country and I will take her for all her faults because she is still better than any other country.

The truth is that the US ranks around 30th on ALL quality of life measurable (not subjective) issues on the world list. The Scandinavian Countries tend to rank in the top 10. I did not look up Taiwan recently, but I would guess (?) that they rank higher than the US. But, there is no real point in doing that because the example of Taiwan was used to simply show what is possible with CV (and CV only). The post did NOT try to say that Taiwan was superior to the US in EVERYTHING - just in ADAPTATION to CV.
