> Big differences remain. Immigration is politically contentious in parts of Asia. Many in Japan and South Korea still prize homogeneity. By contrast Singapore is a proudly multi-ethnic society. In Taiwan the president has avowed the need to protect its “multicultural heritage”. These differences are visible in labour-market data. The foreign workforce’s share in South Korea and Japan, at 3% of each of their total labour forces, is much smaller than in Taiwan (at 7%) or **Singapore (at 39%)**.
I’m now officially in love with Singapore.
