Counting on high-tech to revv up country's economy

Article Abstract:

Electronics remains as Taiwan's leading industry what with its reputation as the world's biggest producer of such equipment as personal computers, monitors, motherboards and scanners. The industry leads all others in export growth and in 1995, it helped the GDP rise by 6% from that of the previous year. Other industries, however, have not shown such strength, caused doubtless by the effect of the maturation process of the economy.
