Taiwan ranks first in Asia and 11th
globally in the EIU democracy index 2020.
The EIU, that's the 'Economist Intelligence Unit'
They have an index of democracy everywhere around
the world and actually if you go on their website,
you can see that they wrote
something about the year 2020:
"Democracy was dealt a major blow in 2020.
Almost 70% of countries covered by the
economist intelligence units democracy index
recorded a decline in their overall score
as country after country locked down to
protect lives from a novel coronavirus.
The global average score fell to its lowest
level since the index began in 2006."
We can see that worldwide democracy hasn't
been doing so well according to this index,
but as the title told you, there is a
country that has been doing pretty well.
It's about Taiwan that is ranked first in Asia
and 11th globally out of the 167
countries that they assessed.
On february 3rd, by the London-based
Economist Intelligence Unit,
this score was actually published.
I'm going to read something more in the article.
"Singled out as this year's star performer,
Taiwan climbed 20 places in the rankings
as compared to the previous year
and gained the denomination of "full democracy".
Taiwan's strengthening of
democracy backed the global trend
in a year that saw a large majority of
countries record a decline in their total scores
compared with previous year."
So this is very unusual. While most countries
were declining their democracy score,
Taiwan was actually rising up
this year! That's very remarkable.
"The report also described Taiwan
as a "beacon of democracy in Asia"
and chalked up the country's spectacular
rise as a reflection of a consolidation
of positive political and legal
developments over recent years."
Today's news has also been reported
on several other news outlets.
For example on Taiwannews.com
we can read that while Taiwan was still
categorized as a "flawed democracy" in 2019,
transparency in political party financing
as well as political and judicial reforms
propelled the nation 20 places higher on
the list this year. CNA reported this.
Taiwan was also one of only 38 countries
to improve their rankings in 2020
compared to the previous years
That's a huge achievement!
The only two other full democracies
in East Asia, Japan and South Korea
finished at number 21 and 23.
China was listed as an authoritarian regime
at number 151, with Laos coming at number 161
and North Korea at the very bottom number 167."
Yeah, that's no surprise for North Korea there...
"On a global scale, Northern European countries
occupied the top rankings
with Norway at number one,
Iceland at number two and Sweden at number three."
I have studied in Sweden! Just by the way...
"New Zealand finished in fourth
place followed by Canada.
Switzerland, often seen presented as a
model state by international surveys,
finished just one notch behind Taiwan in
the 12th slot." So that's pretty impressive.
Taiwan got a higher score
than Switzerland on the list.
Super impressive!

因為台灣在 2020 年 EIU 民主指數中在亞洲排名第一，
在全球排名第十一。EIU 是“經濟學人智庫”，
他們在世界各地都有民主指數，其實，如果您參觀他們的網站，
您可以看到他們寫了一些有關 2020 年的內容：
“民主在 2020 年受到了沉重打擊。
經濟學人智庫民主指數包含的國家中，
有將近 70％ 的國家整體得分有所下降，
由於為了保護人們免受新型冠狀病毒侵害而採取的封城。
全球平均得分已降至該指數自 2006 年開始以來的最低水準。”
我們可以看到，根據該指數，全球的民主制度沒有取得很好的進展，
但是正如標題所說的那樣，有個國家的發展相當不錯。
在他們評估的 167 個國家中，
台灣在亞洲排名第一，在全球排名第十一。
總部位於倫敦的經濟學人智庫 (Economist Intelligence Unit)
在 2 月 3 日正式發布了這一個分數。
我接下來要讀更多的文章內容。
“被推選為今年的明星，
台灣的排名比前一年上升了 20 位，
並升格分類為“完全民主”。
台灣民主的進步支撐了全球趨勢，
一年來，大多數國家的總評分
與上一年相比都有所下跌。”
這非常與眾不同。當大多數國家的民主評分下降時，
台灣則在今年躍升！非常了不起。
“報告還把台灣描述為“亞洲民主的燈塔”，
並把台灣的驚人崛起歸功於
反映了台灣近年來政治與法律積極面發展的鞏固。”
今天的新聞也在其他幾個新聞媒體上有報導。
例如，在 Taiwannews.com 上，
我們可以看到，儘管台灣在 2019 年仍被歸類為“有缺陷的民主國家”，
但政黨募資的透明以及政治和司法改革，
使台灣今年排名上升 20 位。CNA 報導。
與往年相比，
台灣也是 2020 年排名上升的 38 個國家之一。
這是一個偉大的成就！
在東亞，只有另外兩個完全民主國家，日本和南韓，
分別位於第 21 名和第 23 名。
中國被列為獨裁政權，排名 151，寮國排名 161，
北韓墊底第 167 名”
是啊對於北韓來說，這不足為奇…
“在全球排名上，北歐國家排名最高，
挪威排在第一位，
冰島排在第二位，瑞典排在第三位。”
我在瑞典念過書！順帶一提…
“紐西蘭排名第四，其次是加拿大。
在國際調查中通常被視為模範國家的瑞士，
