I was wondering if the report was true. It had mentioned: "In the future, TSMC will have 6 chartered flights to send more than 1,000 Taiwanese engineers to Arizona."
TSMC sending first batch of 300 people on charter flight to Phoenix
- Thread starter tonyget
- Start date
It would all make sense if these employees were explicitly hired for Arizona, not plucked out from established TW employees. In the latter case, you would have to replace them.
The source says that majority of these employees are 30-40，married men. So I don't think they are those US fresh grads who send over to TW for training.
As a Taiwanese, I would like to put my two cents in
It is the Taiwanese equivalent of Fox news, so take what they said with a grain of salt
By the way, there is another Taiwanese equivalent of Fox news for DPP (current incumbent party). It is like the pot calling the kettle black.
As for cancellation of Chung T'ien's broadcast license, it really didn't do anything different than other political media outlets, especially pro-DPP media outlet. I dare say it was just a political move
This is probably generating no emotion among most Taiwanese
The video you posted was from a pro-KMT (current opposition party) media outlet called "Chung T'ien"

Taiwan's politics is just as polarized as in the US

Is that right？I don't think you speak for the Taiwanese majority. Because from what I have heard on Taiwanese internet，this event is not well perceived among Taiwanese people at all.
This is just some example
【新聞】頭一遭千人大遷移！台積電包機飛美 - Gossiping板 - Disp BBS
晶圓代工龍頭台積電美國亞利桑那州廠，將在12月上旬舉行盛大的首部機台移機典禮，根據 商業周刊報導，在11月初一群台積電員工攜家帶眷，上演舉家大搬遷飛往美國鳳凰城，這是 台積電第一班把將近300名員工送disp.cc
Actually，all posts and videos relate to this event，there is overwhelmingly negative comments left by Taiwanese. Apparently，people in Taiwan see this as a threat.
These TSMC employees are not "traveling" to the US，they are "emigrating" to the US. They have brought family members and pets along with them，and their children are going to enroll in local school，the US government will also grant them citizenship. They are not going back to TW，they are there to stay，the US will be their new home.
Just curious - is the negative reaction (news) from other TSMC employees or is it more people outside of TSMC?

TSMC CEO Mark Liu：Taiwanese youth are scared of going out，that's the problem
Some companies asked about talent issues. Mark Liu said, "Taiwan's semiconductor industry does not have the problem of brain drain. You read in newspapers that TSMC sent 500 engineers to a new plant in the United States, but we have more than 50,000 engineers in Taiwan. Taiwan's talent is I'm afraid he won't go out, because it's too comfortable in Taiwan. Young people in Taiwan dare not go out, it's different from us in the 1970s and 1980s, this is Taiwan's problem."
I used to work for a chemical company with a branch in TW. The overseas folks would sometimes visit offices in AZ or NM, which is about a 20 hour flight from Taipai. 5 hours to Narita, 10 hours to LA, 5 hours to reach PHX or ABQ (due to customs and wait for flights). Unrestricted movement through free countries and states, routine.
