Japan is regarded as the country that has shown the most support for Taiwan in the wake of a powerful earthquake that struck the eastern part of the island last week, a survey released Monday showed.

The poll, which surveyed a total of 1,076 adults between Friday and Saturday, was commissioned by the Taiwan NextGen Foundation.

It indicated that nearly 76 percent of respondents replied that Japan was the country most concerned and supportive of Taiwan since the devastating quake.
