("Taiwan's digital content industry has grown dramatically over the past 10 years. The sector's output rose from NT$153.7 billion (US$5.07 billion) in 2002 to NT$522.5 billion in 2010, and it is expected to exceed NT$600 billion this year despite the global economic downturn, according to government statistics")

(b) Yet another trillion-dollar in Taiwan (in Taiwanese currency).
(c) Taipei Times calls it a VFX center, without explanation.
(i) visual effects http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_effects
(visual effects (commonly shortened to Visual F/X or VFX))
(ii) My guess is the X in the acronym comes from "ects," which may sound like "eks."
