Letting in migrant laborers from Indonesia and the Philippines which are hot-beds of the virus? Pretty stupid and unnecessary.

You know that zero local engineering firms bid on the new MRT expansions, basically because they dont have access to enough labor. Taiwan is a small island, focused on exports and international trade, there had to be some trade-offs for the economy to still work here.

Even before Covid, farmers where hurting for migrant workers.

Yes I’d say a shortage of nearly 300,000 workers is chronic. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2018/02/27/2003688342
