I spoke to @taiwanplusnews about how Taiwan's low wages are due to the excessive profits accumulated by Taiwan's businesses and Taiwan's low unionization rate, and how the low wages have contributed to Taiwan's brain drain, and the low motivation and happiness at work.

The proud export of Taiwan's work conditions. “TSMC was the worst possible place to work on Earth,” one American ex-TSMC engineer told Rest of World. Another, who recently left the company, described TSMC as having “a purely authoritarian work structure.” restofworld.org/2024/tsmc-ariz…

Applicable to Taiwan, where its politicians have used the excuse of liberty to not place constraints on Taiwan's business profits. "Forces on the political Right have justified exploitation by cloaking it in the rhetoric of freedom."

"39.2 percent of Taiwanese workers aged 39 or younger earn less than they spend every month. Should they lose their jobs suddenly, ... 34.6 percent said they expect to go under immediately." taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/ar…

Taiwan's low wages and long work hours, including long overtime pay, is a bad labor practice. As a democracy, Taiwan needs to adjust these practices to ensure workers earn adequate wages and work shorter hours, to align with their well-being and Taiwan's human rights rhetoric.

Suppressing wages to enable Taiwan's manufacturing profits to grow faster has directly caused household consumption to grow more slowly, I write in this article. Comparing Taiwan with other advanced countries, Taiwan's businesses are not sharing profits fairly with workers.

我在這篇新文章中寫道，壓低工資讓台灣製造業利潤更快成長，直接導致家庭消費成長更慢。 與其他先進國家相比，台灣企業並沒有公平地與勞工分享利潤。

That Xi Jinping would place such significance on meeting a has-been with little relevance to Taiwan or the world, even symbolically. Questions the strategic thinking of Xi Jinping, and how he clings on to old ideas, instead of move forward with current times and expectations.

9/9 It is mainly since the 1970s and 1980s that we seem to have replaced our very sophisticated understanding of trade with a largely ideological approach, and one that benefits Wall Street and owners of movable capital more than it benefits workers, businesses and producers.

Anyone who discusses Taiwan as part of China or under the frame of US without considering Taiwan on its own merit is an imperialist rooting for either country. Taiwanese have exercised their democratic right to govern themselves and China threatens Taiwan's self-determination.
