The answer is a definite yes. We did an interview with Revital Golan, a successful businesswoman whose consulting firm helps Israeli companies to find opportunities in Taiwan, and she could not stress more of Taiwan’s geographical and strategic position in terms of attempting to enter China’s market.
She said that Taiwan shares the same language and culture with China, and Taiwan’s market can serve as a control group with a considerably manageable population. I guess we all agree that Taiwan is a mush-have case if you want to test your product whether it has the potential of becoming successful in China.
