Before we look up competition and season words in Chinese, I want to share with you an article. The author Alan is a famous headhunter who lived in Taiwan for several years. He mentioned a lot of different aspects of Taiwan that I had never thought about them. And for sure Taiwan is not the best country in the world. He probably can write another article about the 101 disadvantages in Taiwan, but he didn’t. So thank you for being nice to Taiwan.
