("中国改革开放后在世界范围内的崛起,以及香港、台湾两岸三地古老的传统文化、高速发展的经济、诱人的工作机会、较低的生活成本等因素吸引了很多美国人,特别是美国年轻人前去旅游、学习、工作和定居。中国国家统计局2014年公布的第六次全国人口普查数据显示,仅生活在中国境内的美国人就有超过7万,在外籍人口排行榜上位列第二")

My comment:
(a) I can never understand why citizens of advanced economies will come to Taiwan to work. I mean those earning local currency (as opposed to expats dispatched by multinationals and taking in home pays). For the former, after a few years when they are leaving and converting their savings from local currency into foreign currencies, the money is paltry. Perhaps some of the former just want an experience in China/Taiwan, then they may not care (more or less like Mormon missionaries whom I am familiar with).
(b) I am certain "2014" is wrong. My educated guess is a 2011 press release based on PRC's 2010 census. (It takes time to crunch numbers. US Census Bureau is the same.)

(c) I never watch videos. So I can not vouch for it.
