I think a more salient point lies later in that same paragraph:
Missing are the Taiwanese—their proportion dropped from 5.8 percent to 1.1 percent. This is probably because, as Taiwan became a developed nation and improved its universities, fewer Taiwanese have been coming to the U.S. to study and work.
The article is concerned about the 4.1% reduction in the number of people from other countries starting companies in the US, but dismisses the 81% (not 427%, thx denniedarko) drop in companies founded by Taiwanese immigrants. Essentially, the author's saying that the people living in India and China haven't built universities that can attract students and professors better than American universities can, so the people born there are leaving.
How about the title of the linked article? When speaking to immigrants, what does keep your entrepeneurs mean? I can see if you were speaking to another country, but to immigrants? And if they are immigrants doesn't that mean they are already here?

Why is Taiwan considered differently?
