This is the attitude a lot of Japanese people have towards other Asians, including Taiwan. I dont know why, they have an inbuilt superiority complex in a lot of cases.

It's not unique to Japan. Americans think the USA is the best, most people I knew in Panama thought Mexicans were lazy, and most Taiwanese people I know don't care for China. Everyone compares themselves to others.
Taiwan is totally different than China. Taiwan is a highly developed country with a high standard of living like the US and Japan. Taiwanese students are always ranking top in the world in math and science. And there is a big Japanese influence in Taiwanese culture. If some Japanese people look down on Taiwan, I think it's probably in the same way some Americans feel our country is superior to Canada or the UK, not like we look down on Mexico.
