Though Mainland China paid about 10 Taiwan dollar per kg of rice from India last year but the rice price in the PX Mart in Taiwan has been skyrocketed from 20 Taiwan dollar per kg of rice to at least 50 Taiwan dollar per kg of rice now, skyrocketing of 150% for rice during her 6 years of corruption reign
Vegetable price has been skyrocketed out of control due to the drought last year and there is no more drought now but the skyrocketed price of vegetables is still maintained unfairly until now such as cabbage which is currently sold for as much as gold price, etc.
Vegetables are essential for the healthy lifestyle of Taiwanese so should be affordable but the corruption of the current government for allowing the inhumanely greedy farmers to rip off and bully Taiwanese unfairly and consequently more and more Taiwanese consume less and less vegetables and getting less healthy, thanks to the most wicked president Tsai, enriching the few inhumanely greedy farmers at the expense of destroying the health of all Taiwanese.
Skyrocketing the electricity price by 27% starting from tomorrow is not acceptable because this is the mistake of the foolish president Tsai for phasing out the Nuclear power plant which cost almost nothing to generate lot of electricity but the foolish Tsai stubbornly substituted the nuclear power plant with the expensive fuel powered plant which is unsustainable as the price of fuel has skyrocketed unacceptably since last year.
President Tsai shouldn't use her sense into implementation because she should know that her head is no different to a pig's head.
The consequence of using her pig's head shall skyrocket inflation out of control very soon as the 27% increase from the electricity price shall be passed to the consumers. This is absolutely unfair and unacceptable to all Taiwanese and in doing so, the pig head Tsai must be accountable very soon after leaving her post.
So the unreasonable 27% increase of the electricity price should be suspended immediately and the government should immediately invest in clean hydropower plan, nuclear power plant and clean fusion power plant immediately to generate electricity and with these solutions, the government no need to raise the electricity price at all.
The pork price has been dropped over 40% in Mainland China last year but there is no any price drop in Taiwan since last year under the corruption reign of president Tsai. So it seems Taiwanese has no value in president Tsai's eye comparing to her beloved few inhumanely greedy pig farmers. Unlike cattle, pig is very cheap to farm as it just takes merely 6 months (3 months is also enough for some pig fimers) for pig to grow up fully for slaughter so the pork price should not be higher than chicken.
So the price of pork should be dropped for at least 40% immediately to return justice to Taiwanese.
Is president Tsai still standing with the few inhumanely greedy rice/vegetable/pig farmers instead of Taiwanese?
If so, it's time for Taiwanese to take justice into their own hand until landing the corrupt president Pig Tsai into jail for colluding with farmers in order to punish Taiwanese with unacceptable, sky-high food price during her last 6 years of corruption reign.
It's nothing wrong with the government providing the affordable train service to Taiwanese but this god-damned wicked pig head Tsai don't want Taiwanese to receive any benefit from the government and consequently wants the train to be owned by a greedy private company. Taiwanese shall not forgive Tsai for transferring ownership of the train to a private company so it's best for Tsai to not touch the train which benefits Taiwanese. Nothing is worthy for Taiwanese but only rip-off according to the most cunning mind of the pig head Tsai but Taiwanese are not dumb neither so the pig head Tsai and her bloodlines would enjoy the forever maximum punishment of Taiwanese after retirement and the pig head Tsai would go to hell for her wicked mind of always colluding with inhumanely greedy farmers to rip off and bully Taiwanese.
The bottom sector includes minimum wage and so on. If the minimum wage were increased, additional increase from the minimum wage shall be simply passed to the price and consequently further increase inflation endlessly. So whoever says to increase the minimum wage to tackle inflation is absolutely not qualified for the job so this kind of dumb people should be removed immediately in order to not further increase trouble for the people who have already suffered enough trouble already now.
The top sector includes the essential food such as wheat, chicken, vegetable, etc, international shipping, oil, gas, raw materials such as gold, aluminum, copper, etc. The current undutiful government has been ignoring its essential duty to tackle the top sector for so long already so the mess-up we see today is 100% due to the current ignorant government. The best course of action is indeed sacking all of the undutiful, ignorant, unqualified and irresponsible people in the government immediately for good from creating further trouble and immediately replace with dutiful, qualified, responsible and capable people who shall rigorously follow up all the issues of the top sector until being resolved to return price of the top sector to this pre-pandemic period and consequently shall return justice to the taxpayer.
Taiwan's economy is doing amongst the best worldwide now.
The current unrealistic separatist regime in Taiwan should stop all of its unachievable treacherous dreaming immediately and be very careful not to provoke China anymore because they might be hunt worldwide eventually even if they run away from Taiwan later for the crime of unforgivable treasons.
1. Action sounds louder than speech
2. A war that should result losing completely shouldn't be provoked, are the 2 messages for the selfish bigmouth separatist regime in Taiwan for the sake of millions of Taiwanese in Taiwan.
US weapons certainly would not prevent from China invasion eventually so shouldn't waste a lot of money on the useless US weapons anymore and instead invest only on the one almighty weapon which even US is afraid of today so doesn't dare to touch China militarily even under the previous Trump's administration.
The priority now is for peace so peaceful existence between Mainland China and Taiwan under One China policy is so important today much more than before so Taiwan must use the One China policy wisely and beneficially in order to maintain peace at all cost during this current unpredictable era.
No one in Taiwan but only the working people automatically receive the payment of coronavirus stimulus unfairly unlike other countries and this is the most unfair scam ever committed by any government in history.
This the most unfair Taiwan government is wasting Taiwanese's tax money by automatically providing payment of up to 30000 NT dollar to all of the working people or all employees in Taiwan recently in the name of coronavirus stimulus wrongfully but there is no plan to automatically support for the unemployed people or other idle people in Taiwan unfairly unlike other countries.
The recent approved Coronavirus stimulus package of over 7 billions US dollar wasn't necessary if the Taiwan government were good enough to prevent the recent outbreak of coronavirus but this good for nothing Taiwan government delayed the purchase of coronavirus vaccines deliberately in order to wait endlessly until the local-made unreliable coronavirus vaccines is available which consequently results the terrible death of hundreds of Taiwanese now unnecessarily due to the recent worst coronavirus outbreak in Taiwan , all thanks to the foolish Tsai president who is the main culprit forcefully pushing for the local made coronavirus unnecessarily so this immoral culprit should step down immediately for indirectly killing of hundreds of innocent Taiwanese as well as for causing the loss of Taiwanese's tax money of over 7 billions US dollar in the name of coronavirus stimulus package for her world-record ignorance as well as for her world-record foolishness to insist with the local-made unreliable coronavirus vaccine which most Taiwanese have no trust upon, maybe the recent terrible death of hundreds of innocent Taiwan due to the outbreak might not be enough for her world-record foolishness.
Consequently everyone here are suffering now so everyone should be entitled to be supported financially if the Taiwan government decided to indemnify for its mishandling of the pandemic.
However, only specific group or individual such as the rip-off taxi drivers, etc are being indemnified unfairly out of the over 7 billions US dollar which the current government decided to spend to indemnify for its mistake so everyone suffering here is not indemnified and it's extremely unfair for everyone currently suffering in Taiwan.
Everyone is entitled to be indemnified out of the government's 7 billions US dollar support fund.
So for the sake of fairness, the fund should be used to alleviate the expense such as food (so the food price should be much more cheaper now, etc), health insurance (the cost of health insurance should be reduced by half, etc), transportation (city bus fare should cost no more than 15 NT dollar, etc), etc of everyone equally instead of wasting to indemnify the rip-off taxi driver and so on. Anyway, the government's fund should not benefit only specific group or individual unfairly because this is not fair for everyone currently suffering in Taiwan.
Taiwan government shouldn't allow culprit companies such as 雃博 (4106), 優盛(4121) to take advantage of the suffering of Taiwanese in order to profiteer in the stock market unreasonably during the tragic period like now, the criminal behavior of these companies must be investigated immediately for justice.
The rice price has been skyrocketed over 150% since 2016 from about 20 Taiwan dollar per kilogram to over 50 Taiwan dollar per kilogram now while India is selling rice for merely 10 Taiwan dollar per kilogram to Asia countries recently.
So the rice price in Taiwan is 400% more expensive than the current export price of India.
A chicken rice set meal at 7 Eleven convenient store in Thailand is just about 30 baht or 26.77 Taiwan dollar but the similar chicken rice set meat at 7 Eleven convenient store in Taiwan cost a whopping above 70 Taiwan dollar.
7 Eleven convenient store in Taiwan used to be cheaper where a chicken rice set could be purchase at 50 Taiwan dollar until 2016 but this offer is no longer available under the current sick government.
The city bus fare has been doubled under the current sick government as well and it's worst for location between Xindian, New Taipei City and Taipei where even if taken just for 3 bus stops, one shall be ripped off for 30 Taiwan dollar for bus fare under the current sick government unlike never seen before.
Throwing rubbish is the greatest pressure all Taiwanese have been suffering until now unlike Singapore , etc where Singaporean have no pressure throwing the rubbish as rubbish bin is available at every building in Singapore unlike in Taiwan where Taiwanese have to chase the rubbish car twice daily shamefully in order to eliminate rubbish.
The current sick government has done nothing to eliminate this pressure for Taiwanese until so far.
Restaurant food price has been skyrocketing rapidly under the current sick government for at least 30%.
Going to the supermarket to purchase meat and vegetable is no longer convenient for all nondrivers as plastic bag is banned from using in the supermarket under the direction of the current sick government unlike in Japan where plastic bag is offered for free at every supermarket.
So the current sick government is the root cause and the culprit of causing birth rate falling rapidly unlike never seen before because this sick government contributes more inflation and inconvenience to all Taiwanese comparing to all of the previous government before.
Unfortunately, I am also aware of the current situation.
In all honesty my plans should be reconsidered after reading the comment section.
We lost our two sons one daughter and 5 close friends to covid19 so far.
There isn't any forgetting or forgiveness.
What the Chinese government and citizens of China did was just cold blooded heartless murders on a global scale as the comments on Jan.5 2021 stated.
Then the witch Tsai might understand the hardship of Taiwanese who are suffering due to the very inhumane policies imposed by her that resulting not being provided of the essential plastic bag for food purchase in the super market as well as being unreasonably and outrageously charged of additional consumer tax for each individual bamboo chopstick, paper box, plastic spoon of takeaway food.
Tsai and her blood line shall not rest in peace forever as long as Taiwanese are suffering due to the aforementioned inhumane policies imposed by her so before it's too late Tsai must abolish the aforementioned inhumane policies imposed by her immediately so as not to harm Taiwanese anymore.
Traitor Tsai is the main reason why Taiwan might be attacked very soon by China or else no war is expected for Taiwan for the next 100 years.
Trump is out at the end of this year and China is coming for revenge only upon the most hateful traitor Tsai and roast the traitor Tsai alive until her death to appease its anger.
Butchering of the Traitor Tsai by China is not important for all Taiwanese but people in Taiwan should not suffer for the sake of the wicked, moron traitor Tsai which is nothing more than a dog in Taiwanese's eye as the traitor Tsai is making the people's life harder by forcing to pay inhumane tax for each and individual chopstick, spoon, box of takeaway food unlike never seen in human history and the fare of city bus was also raised double under her administration, etc.
The traitor Tsai shall surely go to hell for causing suffering and unnecessary pressure and burden to all Taiwanese unlike never seen before during her administration after China roasts her alive to death.

Be aware, here we discuss about cost of living, rather than politics of living. Although there are quite some people admire China and the “One country two system”, they refuse to live in China....
See what happens when Covid-19 occurs these months, and the world understands.
According to a recent news, a Taiwanese left his quarantined hotel room in Taipei to travel to abroad but was fined with a whopping 1 million NT dollar unreasonably for leaving his quarantined hotel room.
Taipei hotel is well known to be expensive comparing other cities, such as Kuala Lumpur, Osaca, etc.
And the aforementioned person is a Taiwanese, not a tourist so he should have a house in Taiwan so should be quarantined in his home in Taiwan instead in order to save the burden of the expensive hotel room cost in Taipei for a whopping 2 weeks stay.
Taiwanese should be well treated with respect and fiarness according the way of democracy so Taiwanese should not be targeted for ripoff especially by their government or else where is law and justice for Taiwanese?
Government servents such as the culprit vice mayor should not abuse power given by Taiwanese people to add unreasonable burden to Taiwanese such as the aforementioned victim Taiwanese. If home quarantine were not allowed by the government for Taiwanese, government should bear the cost of all other types of quarantined methods.
The Taipei government is very inconsiderate of the burden of the returning Taiwanese by not arranging a home stay quarantine for the aforementioned Taiwanese so the seemingly lawless vice mayor of the Taipei government should take a responsibility by resigning immediately for her foolish action of badly harming the well-being and interest of the aforementioned Taiwanese.
Please everybody believe the spiteful virus infected Chinese 50 centers comments below , don't come here . :)
Don't know how much Mr. Song received offer from the ruling democratic party to run for the presidential race because the ruling democratic party is well aware that as long as Mr. Song is in the presidential race, KMT has absolutely no chance to win.
So KMT must find a way not to lose vote due to Mr. Song.
Anyway, Mr. Song must withdraw from the presidential race in order for KMT to be able to race with the ruling democratic party fairly.
Or else the ruling democratic party is now merely playing with the hopeless KMT for fun's sake without the stupid KMT being aware of its destined doom in this presidential race though KMT racing seriously which is useless as long as Mr. Song is a candidate in the presidential race.
And the guy before you...lol

Also the Taiwan relations act.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_Relations_Act
108 General Dynamics Corp M1A2 Abrams tanks worth around $2 billion (€1.7 billion)
1,240 TOW anti-tank missiles worth $200 million
409 Javelin anti-tank missiles
250 Stinger portable air defense systems.
There are also reports that Taiwan may be seeking to buy 66 more F-16 fighter jets.
The US Congress, which has to approve the deal, has been sent an informal notification, according to Reuters news agency.
Taiwan and the US are allies .
Now stop talking politics here especially if you don't live in Taiwan . Bye.
However, sadly the inaction and irresponsible attitude of both mayors, Ko Wen-Je and Hou You-Yi of Taipei and New Taipei is regrettable.
If these both mayors were responsible a bit, they should secretly shut down the culprit "Taiwan news" immediately and detain all responsible people without bail indefinitely in prison with the hardest labor in return for defamation of the interest of the residents of the Greater Taipei.
Ignore folks. They are bitter people wreck every internet forum!
20.4 millions US dollar for just escalators for 16 MRT stations, can anyone believe? How come the tax blood of Taiwanese are being sucked and cheated gradually by the most stupid Taiwanese called Tsai president.
Expanding Taipei’s Popular MRT
https://topics.amcham.com.tw/2019/03/expanding-taipei-mrt/
This is just one case and Tsai also initiated many projects for infrastructures so should already make lots of money by raising the budget more than needed by as much as more than half.
Tsai is the most worthless president ever elected in Taiwan as her stupidity has been exceedingly clarified since she argued and acted like a crippled moron with the previous Ma president on TV debate for presidential election where she failed miserably.
What can Taiwan blame for electing the most unworthy Tsai for president position? Blame the ignorant Taiwanese who most of them also already regret now electing the most stupid Taiwanese for president position.
Tsai moron makes Taiwan the worst living hell on earth where in Taiwan you won't be provided a free plastic bag for shopping at RTC, Carrefour, etc and even with money you can't purchase plastic bag at the cashier but only more expensive bag costing at least 15 times of the price of plastic bag.
Hope the moron Tsai shops like a normal Taiwanese without taking taxi and personal car and instead take the city transport bus or MRT to understand the hardship of Taiwanese.
Even Japan provide free environment friendly plastic bag for the convenience of its citizen unlike inconvenient Taiwan under Tsai mess-up
Meal cost has also been raised as much as 50% under Tsai mess-up so Taiwanese are not happy anymore comparing to the era under the previous great presidents. Taiwanese were much happier under the previous Chen president who did help alleviate the burden, hardship, etc of his people and Taiwanese were content during his presidency.
The title is President Tsai.
Enjoy the pollution in Beijing.
Cheaper option of taxi such as Grab is not still yet allowed to operate in Taiwan to protect the interest of expensive taxi service.
Tsai government seems to treat Taiwanese as walking ATM machine worthy to be ripped off.
This dumbass Tsai government even announced in the news below to subsidize taxi driver to purchase new cars as much as NT$350000 (US$11300) for each car.
Ministry outlines taxi subsidies
http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2019/02/25/2003710370
After wasting all the government money and consequently destroying Taiwan, Tsai should not worry where to run because her late father's boss, the japan emperor and his descendants would accept her as a faithful dog as usual but not as worthy as the pure Japanese in blood.
Anyway I'm done arguing here. Now the average salary in Taipei is 36k? Lmao. This site is laughable.
In Taipei many working age professionals live at home to save money this adds their salary to the household income along with their parents. This is actually very common to have a household of 3 working adults in Taipei and Taiwan. The average household in Taipei has 2.2 working Adults.
Monthly basic wages rose 1.63 percent from last year to NT$38,656, the data showed.
http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2017/12/03/2003683359
Average income in Taipei is around 55K - 60K
40K is probably Taichung.
Nobody is controlling the fake abroad contributions here?
Just check if you've received a significant numbers of contributions that had the same pattern recently. If you do, maybe you should do something about it. Not that this site is particularly relevant, but those who come and check the statistics do exist.
So you are not going to look into the fact that the contribution has dramatically altered the figures within a few months? Comparing the mid-year statistics and the statistics NOW, the rent has sored by 50% and the salary dropped by 50%. Isn't there something fishy there? Have you not received waves of "contribution" that have manipulated the figures?
As for the sources I provided, if the household income is 1.6 million in a city, how on earth can the average salary be only 40k? Even if you take the percentage of female workforce and other incomes into account, that is still ridiculous. 40k*12 is not even a third of that number. Btw the average working population within a household is 1.34 in Taipei City. Not 3.
Finally, according to official statistics, average salary in all of Taiwan is around 50k. Source: https://tradingeconomics.com/taiwan/wages (It's hard to find something in English as you obviously wouldn't be able to read Chinese).
https://win.dgbas.gov.tw/fies/214.asp <- Household income.
https://rent.591.com.tw/?kind=2®ion=1 <- Renting site.
If you're the real administrator, don't you find that the sudden drop of the salary from your contributors a bit weird? Last year and the first half of this year it was still around 60-70k, now it's only 40k. Same with the rent. It was still 15k a month ago, and now suddenly it's 26k. This is very misleading. I'm suspecting that some of your contributors are actively trying to vandalise the figures.
And to the idiot who says that household income has nothing to do with salary: where do you think the household income comes from? Besides, you think a family of four has 4 fucking salaries? Are you really that stupid?
And again the salary is way higher than 40k in Taipei city. This site is turning into a joke.
People are well educated and well behaved than most Asian countries.
MRT system is very clean and efficient, you have to buy a transit card - 悠遊卡
Their transit card can also use at shops like 7-11 or coffee shops.
I really like this city more than Canada, it's my 7th year in here.
About 55K a month.
Some people use different IP to type the fake number try to lower the average, we all know it isn't real!
Outside the average drops except for Hsinchu.
Average household income is all members of the household and all assets, that's a different thing!

Graduates make less money everywhere in the world.
Soaring house prices only benefits people like me who are selling at this time, I agree its horrible if you're looking to buy in a 2018 market that is overpriced like Taipei.
You talk as if soaring house prices are a good thing. Laughable.
Good luck Taiwan Real Estate Bubble investors...Losing so much money sucks.

"About 31 percent of all workers in Taiwan earned less than NT$30,000 per month this year, falling for the eighth consecutive year, according to the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS). The data also showed that 18.94 percent of employees earned more than NT$50,000 a month this year,"

Now this is a sane investment as rental can fetch quite a lot. Salary is high to justify the cost and there are many renters in this part of town.

Lots of markets are in a bubble now, even in Uzebekistans capital Azgabat a 1000sq ft condo goes for 500k USD! There is no reason for this as I've studied the area/rent etc. In Malaysias Sabah reigion in the Jungle there are poorly built condos selling for 500k USD! All are incredible bubbles of speculation. Jin I can clearly tell you're a speculation buyer....its called gambling, you can make a lot if the timing is right but you can lose a lot of the timing is bad because the rental value is incredibly low compared to purchase price. Singapore and HK still demand a decent rental return on price.
When trying to profit off real estate you have to check your ego and pride for your country at the door. Its all business and Taipei and much of Taiwan is a bad investment in 2018 to buy in.
I can clearly tell don't understand the Hongkong, Bangkok or Singapore markets. Singapore and Hongkong have increasing populations and extremely limited land. Bangkok is over valued like Taipei which is why their real estate is dropping fast recently and I see Taipei eventually going the way of Bangkok.
As for Singapore and HK They are also financial centers of the world, a lot of money and trading goes through here. There is also a sizable population with a very high income that can sustain it.. HK is mainly due to Wealthy main land buyers the past 20 yrs. Taipei is not it does not have a population that is open to world trade markets having been more open to Mainland trade alone. Yes Taipei is also a small city but that doesn't account for why New Taipei City is incredibly expensive.
Taipei real estate prices are dropping, I will pick them up cheaper when people like you sell them at a loss. Taiwan needs to do more to boost its local economy and raise wages across the board. Taiwans Rent vs Property price is the highest disparity on the world. Seoul is also in a Bubble currently as well as Beijing. The property is only worth what someone will pay for it.
Beijing property is almost at least twice as expensive as Taipei property. Don't you think the property price in Beijing isn't acceptable either, you idiot. It is very idiotic of you in the first place to compare Asian cities with cities from America or Euro.
Unless being suppressed of the property price by the current Taiwan government, Taipei property price should have already caught up with similar cities such as Shanghai, Hong Kong, Beijing, Seoul, Singapore, etc. So it is just a matter of time, Taipei property will climb up to where it belongs where its colleagues are now. (The property price of future Taipei can be predicted accurately now just by looking at its colleagues)
Crooked Semi-foreigner ! Fighting for Taiwan doom will never work with your idiotic slander !
