It is the same lathe as the Jet BD920. Both have speed reduction gears
and both use a belt drive from the motor. Neither one is made in Taiwan.

I read some where the BV20 9x20 is a better lathe over all than the JET
and like.
Made in Taiwan has gear head, insteade of belts.
There is a BV 920 sold by Harborfreight, not sure if it's the same as
the BV20 or a newer version.
