Comparing the Democratic Progress in Taiwan and Hong Kong

Internal factors: Advances in the political system and the public participation in the political system Different progress in the development of democratic institutions in Taiwan and Hong Kong result from their internal and unique political structure and the role of political parties there's a possibility that. First of all, we should point out that there is a fundamental difference in the design of government structure between Taiwan and Hong Kong. In Taiwan, he or she will gain the legitimacy of the controlling nation, as long as the party's senator wins the presidential election regardless of the Kuomintang, the Democratic Party, or the national political party.

The survey paper of the International Monetary Fund provides comparative charts showing the technological progress rates of the four East Asia-Tra (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Korea) in the 1980s and 1990s. And compared with Japan and the USA during the same period. East Asia's LTTE has expanded labor participation by accumulating capital at a much faster rate than then the world's two largest economies at the time. However, as you can imagine, some of the productivity of Four Tigers comes from innovative technologies.

Based on the experience of living in Hong Kong, Hong Kong now knows that technical progress is behind compared to other countries in East Asia such as Japan and Taiwan. Hong Kong president believes that Hong Kong needs to catch up with other East Asian countries on the technical side. Taiwan, South Korea, and especially Singapore, are often quoted as examples of technologically superior countries in Hong Kong. It is easy to see how this impression is formed. Intervention by these countries Governments spend a lot of taxpayers' money to encourage high-tech industries (Leung and Wu 533). They have a science park; the ratio of R & D expenditure to national income is much higher than that of Hong Kong, and the number of patents per person is much higher. But what matters is not the investment in technological progress nor the propagation of input, the result.
