How good are US relations with Taiwan


How good are US relations with Taiwan?
I know that US-China relations arent exactly at its best, but does anybody have any idea of US-Taiwan relations? I am contemplating starting work for a company thats headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan. I just dont want my work experience to looked down on if I were to move to the US later.

The relationship between China and Taiwan is surprisingly good. I'm an ex pat from the USA living in the heart of China. Every year or so they dust off their sabers and rattle them at each other, then put them back and go back to normal trade, tourism and diplomacy. I suspect it is to appease the haters and for Taiwan to get more military bucks from the USA. China claims Taiwan as a province and has threatened to take military action if they claim independence. This has been going on for almost 60 years. At one time this was a real threat, but no longer. Taiwan recently lost a bid for membership in the UN, the UN said they had no legal bounds. Affectively putting the question of Taiwan's sovereignty to bed. As far as the relationship between Taiwan and the USA, it is good. I would not worry about that being a black mark on your resume'. I maybe a little concerned with a Chinese company on my resume', however, consider this. China is a top country for the west to invest in. It is not a good idea to measure a countries health on what talking heads and governments say, but rather how much investment in the countries future is. China has a very stable government and society, so for business, it is a safe long term bet for investment. Therefore, any company that has any experience in the far east would understand the above and probably look at you as an asset. Peace Jim .
