Taiwan is a mountainous island country with a tropical climate and a population of over 23 million people. The capital city is Taipei, and the majority of the population is ethnic Han Chinese. Taiwan is governed by its own president and vice president, and the country’s economy is driven by agriculture, particularly rice and banana crops. Despite its beautiful landscapes, Taiwan has been plagued by environmental problems, including pollution of water and soil.
Taiwan is an island country located near mainland China. Officially part of the Republic of China, Taiwan covers a total land area of 13,823 square miles (35,801 square kilometers), most of which is mountains or jungle. The island’s climate is marine tropical, which means that Taiwan receives a significant amount of rain all year round. This contributes to the lush vegetation typical of the island and which in turn contributes to the high humidity of the area.
The capital of Taiwan is the city of Taipei. Taipei is the commercial and cultural center of the country and one of the most visited metropolises in Asia. Taipei’s population exceeds 2.5 million people in the city limits alone, while the metropolitan area surrounding downtown is home to almost double that. The majority of Taiwan’s population are ethnic Han Chinese, with a small percentage of Taiwanese aborigines and foreigners residing in the area. Standard Mandarin is the official language of Taiwan, although people speak a local variant at home, mixing Mandarin with Taiwanese. English has become a second language for many people in Taiwan, partly due to the heavy tourism industry.
Taiwan is governed by its own president and vice president. The Democratic Progressive Party and other opposition groups are fighting in Taiwan for the country’s liberation and eventual independence. Future constitutions, flags, and even social standards have been designed for those who fight to promote a free state. Most of Taiwan’s natural resources have been so heavily exploited that they are now close to extinction. Taiwan remains an agriculturally based society, with rice and banana crops driving the economy.
Despite being famous for beautiful landscapes and serene nature, Taiwan has been plagued by environmental problems. Pollution of water and soil reached endemic levels in the 1990s and led to the creation of several laws to push industries to control the amount of debris they produce. This, however, has come too late for some industries. Rivers, for example, are already heavily contaminated and rubbish is so abundant in the countryside that many popular areas now remain out of reach for tourists.
