I think Taiwan, with exceptions of Mongolia or Pacific Islands, probably has the smallest group of western expats.
Sexpats / datingpats haven't really discovered Taiwan (there are some on Twitch and YouTube though)
Taiwan isn't really known for beaches (but they do exist on the east and south coast) so that discourages a lot of white tourists.
Taiwan is arguably what other Asian countries used to be like maybe 20 years ago but eventually Taiwan will get "discovered" by more people and consequently ruined.
I think I did ok in South Korea (9 FWBs over 6 months) but my experience in Japan was poor and others said they had a hard time getting women in Korea (because Korea probably has 15,000 E-2 English teacher white men and another 50,000 - 150,000 white males who live primarily in Seoul and Busan. Never mind all the military guys. So the more white guys in a country then the harder it is to find women who have a bucket list like screw a white guy or date a white guy).
