The Kuomintang criticized the Taiwan authorities’ \u201cNew southward policy\u201d and called for a comprehensive review"},"content":{"rendered":"

According to a report by the\u201cCentral News Agency\u201d and other Taiwanese media on March 17, it has been 10 years since the democratic progressive party authorities implemented the\u201cNew southbound talent policy.\u201d The KMT legislative caucus said on the 17th that, the policy has been reduced to a\u201cStudent-worker interest chain\u201d between intermediaries, some private schools and enterprises in the middle and late stages, and students studying in Taiwan have become migrant workers in Taiwan, calling on the Taiwan authorities to comprehensively review the current system.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the KMT caucus accused the DPP authorities at a press conference on the 17th of implementing a\u201cNew southbound talent policy\u201d starting in 2016, claiming to attract 200,000 Outstanding Southeast Asian talents to stay in Taiwan, however, this policy has reduced many students to grass-roots labor to fill the grass-roots manufacturing, shopping and service industries.<\/p>\n

Lin Pei-hsiang, secretary-general of the KMT caucus, said that this policy of the DPP authorities is\u201cFull of ideals\u201d and hopes to attract young people from Southeast Asia to Taiwan to study, train talents and deepen exchanges. However, in fact, it is very sad, many students come to Taiwan not to study, but to be forced to work long hours in restaurants, hotels and factories, and even become\u201cDisguised foreign workers\u201d to fill the gap in Taiwan’s labor force.<\/p>\n

Lin Pei-hsiang believes that in order to promote the so-called\u201cNew south-oriented talent policy,\u201d the DPP authorities have invested 4.2 billion Taiwan dollars (about 909 million yuan) to recruit a large number of overseas Chinese students, as a result, many middle-and late-stage private schools regard these students as a lifeline, forming a chain of interests between intermediaries, schools, and enterprises. Their enrollment slogan is euphemistically\u201cCome to Taiwan to study.\u201d But what many people really get is\u201cWorking in Taiwan\u201d. Lin Peixiang called on Taiwan’s education authorities and the\u201cOverseas Chinese committee\u201d to conduct a comprehensive review of the current system.<\/p>\n

To this, also have island netizen to query, \u201c42 billion so scatter?\u201d\u201cIt is new make money policy actually\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to previous reports, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities to promote the so-called\u201cNew South Policy\u201d, trying to give the target area of convenience measures. Some Taiwanese media have reported that some Southeast Asian tourists take the opportunity to work illegally and other situations that are inconsistent with the purpose of the\u201cVisa\u201d have an adverse impact on social security and labor market order on the island. In addition, the\u201cNew South Policy\u201d has also exposed the introduction of colleges and universities and intermediaries to recruit Filipino students to become\u201cSlave labor\u201d and other scandals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
