；性侵也見於殘障人士、性剝削見於兒童，外籍家庭主婦與陸配、 LGBTI 、HIV/AIDS
仍舊遭到歧視；外勞是最容易遭受強迫勞動的族群，漁業(『普遍盛行』的狀況:

美國是台灣唯一盟友 大多他國樂見目前之模糊狀態 The US is by far Taiwan's most important
friend, and its only ally.
Given the huge divide between these two positions, most other countries seem
happy to accept the current ambiguity, whereby Taiwan has most of the
characteristics of an independent state, even if its legal status remains
unclear.
部分台灣人擔憂經濟依賴中國 其他人認為投資中國使共軍犯台機率減低
... links between the two peoples (ps: Chinese, Taiwanese) and economies
have grown sharply. Taiwanese companies have invested about $60bn (£40bn) in
China, and up to one million Taiwanese now live there, many running
Taiwanese factories.
Some Taiwanese worry their economy is now dependent on China. Others point
out that closer business ties makes Chinese military action less likely,
because of the cost to China's own economy...

: 国际贸易是台湾的经济命脉，中国大陆是台湾最大贸易伙伴、进出口贸易第一地区，其次为美国和日本。不同于邻近的韩国和日本，台湾经济以中小型企业而非大型企业集团为主。 台湾电子信息产业在全球产业链中地位举足轻重，全球大多数电脑电子零组件都在台湾生产。......目前当局积极推动产业转型升级，重点发展观光旅游、医疗照护、生物科技、绿色能源、文化创意、精致农业六大新兴产业和十大服务业。 2002年瑞士洛桑國際管理學院《世界競爭力年報》指出臺灣人平均一年工作時數是2,282小時，臺灣工時世界排名第一。2012年CNN援引勞委會和OECD的數據指出，臺灣人每年平均工作2,200小時，比日本、美國多出20％，和德國相比更高出35％。 PS: Apple Daily 10-1-2017: 台灣勞動部統計，2016年勞工時2034小時，全球第6, 次於新、墨、南韓、哥、希臘，但台灣勞工隱藏的加班時數過多，難以由統計看出過勞改善。

Taiwan used to be an indispensable part of
the world high-tech supply chain. Now the island that derives a fifth of its
economy from the likes of PCs, tablets and smart phones for export is unsure how
long all that can sustain. The most often cited reason: Taiwan isn’t keeping up
in software, which in today’s terms means mobile apps and artificial
intelligence as well as the stuff Microsoft does for PCs....Pay
for university professors is too low to attract world-class people from overseas

●Why China Can't Conquer Taiwan in a War
, 11-17-2017 Zachary Keck
http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/why-china-cant-conquer-taiwan-war-23254
A new study by Michael Beckley (Tufts University),
published in the academic journal International Security argues that China’s neighbors
could thwart Chinese military aggression through anti-access/area denial
strategies with only minimal U.S. assistance. ... if China was far
more successful than the United States had been in those conflicts, Beijing’s
ability to execute an amphibious invasion is still far from certain. For
instance, Beckley notes that only ten percent of Taiwan’s coastlines are
suitable for an amphibious landing, which would allow Taipei to concentrate its
forces on a few key areas. Chinese forces trying to land would likely be
severely outnumbered...美國外交政治雜誌《美國利益》（The National
Interest）專文「為何中國無法武統台灣？」，引述美國Tufts University Michael
Beckley 《國際安全》期刊論文: 北京根本無法擊敗亞太鄰國；事實上，中共連台灣也無法征服；僅管北京確能透過一些外交手段，嚇唬鄰國。北京的周邊鄰國，可以透過「反介入/區域阻絕武器」(Anti-access and
area-denial，即A2AD武器防禦) ，並在美國適度協助之下，即可挫敗中國的領土擴張野心。

言論及新聞自由方面，媒體所有權集中對新聞自由
產生影響；新聞置入性行銷情況嚴重，罷工權嚴格受限。台灣工會密度遠低於經濟合作暨發展組織（OECD）的17%平均值，78.2%中小企業員工無法成立工會，大型企業則透過調動或將工會成員列入晉升黑名單。婦女懷孕是台灣常見的勞動歧視現象，性騷擾與不公平待遇等案件也時有所聞，社會文化因素(社會壓力使家族蒙羞)使許多婦女隱忍不報，性侵數字應7~10倍於通報數
；性侵也見於殘障人士、性剝削見於兒童，外籍家庭主婦與陸配、 LGBTI 、HIV/AIDS

台灣販運者越來越多地利用互聯網，智能手機應用程序，直播和其他此類在線技術進行招募活動，通常針對兒童受害者，並掩蓋其執法中的身份。

Apple Daily, headline, 12-9-2017:
◆
At end of 2017, a review found all conclusive advises by
international review
panel have not put into
practice at all.
◆
In 2013, an
international review panel ( human rights experts and scholars)
came Taiwan and concluded :
(1) "The Convention against Torture and Other Cruel,
Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment" should be added to Taiwan Criminal
Law, and should be put into force AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
(2) The best method
to root out torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading
treatment or punishment in Taiwan is that any person or officials who commits torture, those
sort of crimes, should not have free liability of what they did.
ps:
In 1984, The United Nations adopted the text of the
convention
against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment
or Punishment. Most major countries including USA and China are
signatories
and ratifications.
In 2009, Taiwan adopted ICCPR and ICESCR as an alternative
criminal law, in name " law of application" ('施行法'), to against Torture and
Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
PS2:The members of the review panel
visiting Taiwan in 2013 include Philip Alston, law professor at New York University; Eibe Riedel, former member of the United Nations Committee on
Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; Jerome Cohen, law professor at New York
University; and Nisuke Ando, professor emeritus at Kyoto University.

wikipedia:
The Chinese Civil War resumed, with the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) led by Mao Zedong defeating the Nationalists and declaring the
People's Republic of China in 1949. Chiang's government and army retreated
to Taiwan, where Chiang imposed martial law and persecuted critics in a
period known as the "White Terror".

Taiwanese government still
involving political persecutions had been questioned.
French AFP
(Dec. 1, 2011) ,
Thailand's Bangkok Post
(Dec. 3, 2011), Yahoo UK & Ireland,
and all local media reported ( Dec. 2011) Taiwan's
opposition party
vice
presidential candidate and
NTU professor Lin Ruey-Shiung
(PhD., Johns Hopkins
University, USA, Ruprecht-Karls-Universitat Heidelberg Germany.)
was subject to electromagnetic wave attacks.
Dr Lin thinks it's launched by a Taiwanese
intelligence government, but that unit denied, some media reported these weapons
most likely were imported from USA.
Many similar reports and sayings concerning this sort of political persecutions
can be found on the net.

(RSF, France) , 4-18-2019:
Taiwan’s journalists are suffering
from a very
polarized media environment dominated by sensationalism and the
pursuit of profit. Although President Tsai Ing-wen has said she wants to
continue developing press freedom in Taiwan, few concrete measures have
been taken to improve journalists’ editorial independence and encourage
media to raise the quality of
the public debate.
