Hi Guys. Me again. Though Taiwan uses seven intensity levels, it is not the JMA scale. JMA has a unique instrumental intensity, effectively a filtered (PGV*PGA) over some threshold. CWA in Taiwan still uses PGA only thresholds. See Table 2 (Intensity Scale It Versus Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) in Use in Taiwan) in the paper here:

As always, amazed by your wonder Insights!

By the way, is there some kind of compiled resource that compares and matches the various intensity scales? It seems like this would be a useful reference!

Aha, always good to learn something new! Thanks once again for the clarity. I have made some quick edits to reflect this information and will take a closer look later when I have more time. Really appreciate your contributions!
