- Data shared shows China's real GDP growth exceeded Taiwan's through most of 2015-2022, but the pattern reversed with the AI boom: 2024 Taiwan 5.3% vs 5.0%, 2025 8.8% vs 5.0%, and IMF forecasts 10.7% vs 4.5% for 2026.
- Stefan Schubert notes Taiwan, being richer, would normally be expected to grow slower — AI chip demand is the driver.
