The Special Administrative Region of Taiwan, ROC is a member (Separate
Customs Territory) of the WTO, and so has accepted the TRIPS agreement. 
http://www.gio.gov.tw/taiwan-website/4-oa/wto/wto01.htm

Article 9 of TRIPS says that Taiwan has to comply with Articles 1
through 21 of the Berne Convention (1971) and the Appendix thereto.

So for all intents and purposes, Berne applies in Taiwan.
