My younger son worked at the local 3rd Party MVD. He was talking to one
of the TSMC Managers who came in to register a vehicle about the local
jobs TSMC will create. She assured him that was not the case - most of
the workers will come from Taiwan.
This may very well be the case if an American won't work in a sweatshop,
but a *Taiwanese will for the opportunity to work in America.*
