> Cost of Living Including Rent in Taipei is 59.0% lower than in San Francisco, CA

Salaries tend to scale with cost of living. The cost of living in Taiwan is lower than the US. The difference is particularly large if you compare Taipei, the capital where the cost of living is likely the highest, to San Francisco. Presumably, the salaries would be higher if they hire people from the US.



Even if you adjust for cost of living, the pay is still significantly lower than US and somewhat lower than central europe.
