It’s not only that, they can get cheaper university education and do chain immigration by sponsoring their parents. Taiwanese got this all figured out meanwhile giving foreigners the middle finger for dual citizenship .
That’s my point. Cheaper education only if in-state university. UA and ASU are not powerhouses of education. They’re dumping grounds for those who don’t have the grades for elsewhere. Party schools.
Really? My opinion is Taiwan’s optimal steady state population would be about 15 million people.
Where I live in Hokkaido it’s rapidly depopulating and what I’m seeing is old people who used to waste away doing nothing are coming back into the work force and filling the gaps. I think that’s what Taiwan really needs. Repurpose all the idle elderly who’ve been sidelined by society.
Do forumosans see this as a strength, or a sign a larger vulnerability—that our national economy is really tied up with this company, indicating perhaps a weakness or a potential lack of resilience if things go wrong with that one company?
