Recently, in some parts of Taiwan, real estate prices have skyrocketed, making it difficult for young people to afford a home, and the remarks of the Central Bank of Taiwan have had a huge impact.



In Taiwan, housing prices have risen by 4% nationwide in recent years, and real estate prices in southern cities are rising.

In particular, Tainan, a representative city in the southern region, is known as the 'Silicon Valley of Taiwan', with the construction of a factory for TSMC, a world-class semiconductor consignment manufacturing company, and house prices are skyrocketing.

At the time of the Taiwan Legislative Council meeting on the 22nd, a legislative member said, "House prices continue to rise. To buy a house in Taipei, it is said that you have to save money to buy it since the Ming Dynasty."



Then, I asked Yang Jin-rong, governor of the Taiwan Central Bank, "In the past, I bought a house between the ages of 20 and 30, but now it has been delayed to the age of 30 or 40. What do you think of this?"



In response, Yang said, "I bought my first house around the age of 40. Until then, I had rented all of them." He said, "There is no need for young people to buy a house early. All you have to do is listen. I've lived that long."



Taiwanese netizens who heard this news commented, "House prices weren't expensive when Governor Yang was in his 40s", "Do you think the market situation is the same as when you were in your 40s?" nah", etc., pouring out anger.



This is a 'news pick'.
