The Republic of China Yearbook 2011
The Republic of China centenary edition of this annual publication in 2011 offers an authoritative and encyclopedic overview of Taiwan and chronicles the major events of the past year. Background information on the geography, history, cultural and religious practices as well as key political and social figures of Taiwan today provides context for the many up-to-date facts, figures, tables, charts and photographs that dot its pages.
In this book's 20 chapters and four appendices, professional researchers and first- time readers alike will find succinct summaries of Taiwan's economic and investment strategies, social safety net, sporting accomplishments, and technological prowess among other areas that invite further exploration of this remarkable democracy at the heart of East Asia. Published in the 100th year of the Republic of China, this work also features an official and insightful retrospective look at a century of economic, social and political accomplishments achieved on Taiwan since the founding of Asia's first republic in 1912.
Unrivaled for its collation of essential reference material and government statistics, The Republic of China Yearbook also features an unparalleled selection of the most prominent political and social notables who have contributed to Taiwan's accomplishments in its "Who's Who" directory. Chinese-language glosses are provided for selected organizational, personal and place names to aid bilingual readers in correlating Romanized renderings or translated titles with their original Chinese names.
