Article Abstract:

South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong and China are considered the leading Asian nations in the race toward technological advancement in the region.

Among the technological leaders, South Korea shows the greatest promise because of strong government support and unwavering commitment by domestic firms. Taiwan's growth as a technological leader has been hampered by the absence of adequate funding for research.
