  1. In both South Korea and Taiwan, the most prestigious flagship university of each country has their origins in the Imperial Japanese University system. SNU in Korea started out as Keijo Imperial University and NTU in Taiwan started out as Taihoku Imperial University. In both countries, these universities are seen as being a notch above the next top universities and have produced a disproportionate number of political leaders, CEOs and professionals.

  2. Most Taiwanese I meet seem to have a positive view of the Japanese people and culture. One Taiwanese told me the Japanese intended Taiwan to be a model colony of sorts, a place where Japanese could retire to at the end of their working careers.
