This is largest occurring in Taiwan,
and one  of the very large ones in history.
It is  comparable to the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco.

More than 2,000 aftershocks have hit Taiwan since the earthquake which,
at 7.6 on the open-ended Richter scale at 1.47  a.m. Tuesday,
was more intense than the 7.4 tremor
that killed  over 15,000 people in Turkey last month.
