Taiwan returned more than twice what the index did. Source: Novel Investor, using MSCI indices.

Emerging markets is a label MSCI assigns, not a place, and the countries inside it share little. Over the fifteen years to June 2026 the index compounded at under six percent a year while Taiwan managed almost thirteen. The average describes none of them.
