TAIPEI, Jan. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- When the global health crisis struck, the Taiwanese government made swift and decisive actions to curb and contain the situation and this has led to the Taiwanese economy to remain stable. SMEs have reported that even with the movement restrictions, they are able to sustain as they have adopted some elements of digital technology within their business.
