Taiwan Business TOPICS Magazine Description:

Published monthly by the American Chamber of Commerce in Taipei, Taiwan Business TOPICS is a source of balanced, reliable, and insightful news and analysis on issues of concern to Taiwan's business community.

TOPICS serves a highly influential audience of business executives and opinion leaders, with an estimated total readership of 14,000. Besides copies mailed to AmCham members and subscribers, the magazine is sold at most of the leading bookstores in Taiwan. The publication is also provided on a complimentary basis to high-ranking government officials (including all members of the Legislative Yuan), leading scholars and think tanks, and major media, as well as distributed through 5-star hotels, airlines, and community organizations.

TOPICS is unique among Chamber publications in the region in that it serves a broader purpose than acting as a "club magazine" for its membership. Its professional staff of editors and reporters produces a prestigious publication that is highly regarded both for the quality of the information it imparts and the standard of the writing and presentation.

TOPICS readers look to the magazine for in-depth reporting on such subjects as Taiwan's infrastructure development, healthcare system, regulatory regime, environmental conditions and quality of life, and the political and legal system as they impact the business community.
