Taiwanese quality isn't all too bad but I think theres a consensus amongst manufacturing that Taiwan is lower in quality.
I remember a few years back, Sony had a popular video camera which came in two versions, names where something like SONY DVG6500T and SONY DVG6500U (I made these up but its something like that). One was made in Taiwan the other in Japan. Japanese one was much better in build, quality, everything and was priced higher (by £70 or so).
This was very common with SONY and other electronic companies.
That said, I think quality has become much much better but its still a factor to consider.
