Taiwan also has been rather efficient and transparent in how they handled the situation. And the results speak for themselves for a country with so many economic ties to China...

It so happens that, because of the recent political situation, mainland China suspended individual trips (not groups) to Taiwan last year.

Probably quite a silver lining there.

Edit: Got it the wrong way round: individuals, not groups.

The PRC didn’t suspend tourist groups. They stopped allowing PRC passport holders to get individual tourist visas to go on holiday in Taiwan. A family I know were in Taiwan as part of a tour group when news of the virus broke.
