"Chung-Hua specializes in financial and economic affairs. Although it was founded with government funding, and the main focus of its research is on the economic issues facing Taiwan, there's less government interference than you might think, and the academic image is neutral," says Chung-Hua director Wu Ho-mou. The staff members do their research freely and independently, and often have different points of view.
