Taiwan Strong

I found this book to be a fascinating read on the economic rise of China and the pivotal role that Taiwan played in it.

Rigger did a great job of exploring the innovative technologies and advancements that made Taiwan stand out from China.

What struck me most was the impressive ingenuity and determination of Taiwan's inventors and technology giants, who managed to stay ahead of the curve despite facing significant challenges and competition from China.
Rigger's writing style is clear and concise, making complex economic concepts easy to understand.

At the same time, the book doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of the political tensions between China and Taiwan.
It's sobering to see the amount of overreach that took place, and the book serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggles between these two nations - even stronger today more than ever it seems.

Overall, I found this to be an informative and thought-provoking read, particularly given the current state of global affairs.

Highly recommended for anyone interested in the intersection of politics, technology, and economics.
