In 1895 (Meiji 28) China was forced to cede Taiwan to Japan. After this the Japanese were very active in developing Taiwan since it was their first colony ever. In the process they brought to Taiwan many government officials, businesspeople, professionals and educated people to develop and construct their new possession. However, The Japanese were not the only ones who contributed to the economy, trade, administration, education, the media and other areas. Taiwanese professionals also made important contributions. These Taiwan professionals possessed outstanding expertise, ability and enthusiasm. The book "Important Persons of Taiwan" published in 1943 (Showa 18) stated that about 612 (38.3%) out of a total of 1,596 Taiwan experts had oversea experience. Of the 612 experts, 410 (67%) had Japan experience, 150 (24.5%) had experience in China, and 52 (8.5%) had experience in the South Pacific, Europe, North America and Korea. From the above we can see that the Taiwan experts had already achieved notable oversea standards and a global perspective.
