		The Taiwan authorities seek recognition as one of what they claim are two legitimate political entities, each governing part of China, while the PRC regards itself as the sole legal government of all of China, and Taiwan a renegade province.
		Taiwan bureaucrats tend to believe that the penalty for making no decision is always less than the penalty for making the wrong decision and this attitude can result in frustrating delays or unreasonable demands on the contractor as bureaucrats seek to take the safest course of action.
		Taiwan is not a member of the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes nor the New York Convention of 1958 on the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitrage awards.

	Taiwan Railway Administration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As Taiwan is heavily urbanized with a high population density, railways have always played an important part in domestic transportation.
		To offset this TRA has begun placing an emphasis on tourism, this has led to several special tourist trains running to scenic areas and hot springs, the addition of dining cars (originally deemed unnecessary due to Taiwan's relatively small size), and converting several smaller branch lines to attract tourists.
		TRA runs the four main rail lines forming a closed loop around the main island of Taiwan, and three smaller branch lines.

		Once in Taiwan, they were kept isolated, their passports were held, and they were threatened with violence if they did not cooperate.
		During the September 2003 Moon Festival Holiday, one of the busiest travel periods of the year, the Taiwan Railway Workers Union attempted a de facto strike by calling a general meeting of all its members to protest the Government's goal of privatizing the Taiwan Railway Administration.

		I am used to the wonderfully documented railway history of the UK but here, the locally printed books available in English are pithy and shallow in comparison and surfing the internet reveals little more.
		For someone with an interest in railways and a curiosity in general (both rather rare traits locally!) traveling the country is a truly frustrating experience..
