I came from Taiwan, but grew up in America. Here is my impression:
Most people I know in America don't even see the word 'Taiwan' except when they see toys and clothes that say "Made in Taiwan." Nowadays we see "Made in China" much more often. Thank goodness we seldom see pirated software from Taiwan now. China seems to have taken the lead on that one, too.
Most people don't even know where is Taiwan. Then again, this is the country where 69% of the people also don't know where is Iraq, and we're fighting a war there.
Nowadays, if people ask me where I am from, I just say "Canada." It's true! I was born there. Because if I say "Taiwan," I end up having to explain where is Taiwan, why it's not "China," (well, it is, but it isn't), etc.

I think your question is, "what do Americans think of the country of Taiwan, its peoploe, culture, food, entertainment, etc?" Other than that I have no opinion as I know very little about your country, except USA has pledgecd to defend Taiwan if it is attacked by China.

You mean: How do Americans view the culture of Taiwan?
Well, we don't think alot about Taiwan, actually. There's really not much of Taiwan culture in or aware of in America. We don't really know much about Taiwan, there's really nothing to say about it.

I think I'm having Deja Vu, I've read this before...
I'm gonna assume that what the 1st guy said that u meant is what u really meant, and I'm gonna agree with that we don't really know much about Taiwan, I don't even think I know where it is in the map...
