Taiwanese are self-disciplined and they show a high quality of citizenship. For example, they will not jump the queue or occupy the seats which are reserved for the needy. There is a high level of social order and harmony not only in Taipei but in central and southern Taiwan as well.”

What is Taiwanese Culture?
The culture of Taiwan” has been widely debated domestically, as its conception and development has been heavily shaped by politics. Traditionally, “Taiwanese culture” is a blend of Confucian Han Chinese, Japanese, and indigenous Taiwanese cultures. With the inclusion of Chinese from the mainland and other ethnic minorities, the concept of “multi-culturalism” has been developed recently as an alternative.
