No, I do not know the answer, but expect you want to use whatever you find to troll on the China forum which is your usual predatory hunting spot, along with your fellow 50 Centers (Wu Mao Dang). Why don't you cite your sources on how you "know" there are a lot of lonely American ESL teachers looking for Taiwanese women, unless you ae just fishing, which I suspect you are? While you are at it, why don't you go ahead and cite your sources as to how the average monthly middle class salary in China ranges from $700 to $7000 USD? The Taiwanese might find that an amusing fairy tale. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvriGQvLgf7bQ01KTq9GV35SDX1G;_ylv=3?qid=20100906024050AA6XfNK Incidentally, do you think the Taiwanese are so gullible that they would do your dirty work for you? You insult their intelligence. @chububobcat: Cultural Ignorance and Cooper are thought to be one and the same 50 Center, just using a second Yahoo ID> "Their" language and writing styles are nearly identical, not to mention the bogus misuse of statistics.

There are only 3. It just looks like more because they have almost as many proxy accounts as you do. But, none of them are as lonely as you. And, they don't need to cite sources any more often than you do. Fair enough? If you want better information than that, then I suggest you contact the AIT. http://www.ait.org.tw/en/ait-introduction.html @CI - You forgot to post a link or source for your pure speculation. In addition, I happen to have a very good reason for living here. I suggest you haven't one good reason for criticising others and making false accusations, aside from engaging in another point gaming job with your AC account. Please prove me wrong. Try to serve the purposes of Yahoo!Answers every once in a while. OK?

You don't know there are a lot of American ESL teachers and there are no lonely guys looking for women in Taiwan. However, the National Immigration Agency and the Ministry of the Interior has reported that there are well over 350,000 foreigners living in Taiwan as of Dec. 31st, 2009. 32.7% of these are Indonesians 22% are Thai both of these are usually laborers for factories and servants or maids etc., according to Ministry of the Interior stats there are only about 2.5% of the population that are Americans. All of whom are hard working people, the majority is listed as working in Education, followed by independent enterprises (these are Taiwanese or foreign owned companies), Government contractors, and the smallest number is entrepreneurs and spouses. <edit> I forgot to add the that there is a large portion of students studying proper Chinese, and other fields in Taiwan's Universities and language schools. I agree with Richard M, that you only want to use this information to cause trouble and do more trolling so I am not going to give you anymore information. So your just going to have to contact with Ministry of the Interior yourself and explain to them that you only want this information to disseminate fictional information, to troll and spam the China boards with crap to bombard people with fictional statistics only to make Taiwan look bad and spread xenophobia. <edit> Cultural Ignorance, you lack of knowledge never ceases to surprise me. Even if your math skills are non-existent (as seen by your numerous other posts) using a calculator and then using 350,000 (the actual number I will leave for you to find) foreigners and the sited 2.5% being American. Where do you come up with 500-1000 people, that number just shows complete ignorance of everything. With the numbers I gave you could easily have seen that there is 8 times your highest estimate in Taiwan. Unlike the PRC, Taiwan openly reports its accurate census information.

I see from the answers so far that angry Americans are unhappy with your question. Americans become enraged easily, so always beware of their emotional instability. It is unknown how many Americans live in Taiwan because the Taiwanese government keeps that information secret. In fact, very little factual information can be obtained about Taiwan without running into the Taiwan government's censorship and cover-ups. I estimate that 500 to 1,000 Americans live in Taiwan based upon the number of ESL teaching jobs there. Americans have no legitimate reason to live in Taiwan, but low paying ESL jobs attract a strange mix of American economic refugees and drifters seeking social acceptance.
