In Apple (Apple) announced that it will be in the United States production part Mac computer that made scientific and technological circles shocking news that day, the other is a basic science and technology news but did not cause the attention of the outside world, the news is: Apple's two Taiwan suppliers also plans will be part of the employment shifts back to Taiwan.
Apple is this statement can cause greater repercussions, both for apple, after all, is a apple, also because of service outsourcing has been the U.S. media reported on the news. But there is one reason is that, announced that it will move back part of jobs in a science and Technology (Catcher Technology Co.) and large made photoelectric (Largan Precision Co.) was not going to like apple so loudly publicity its move back part of the production business decision.
Announced a technology and big made photoelectric plan in Taiwan investment to set up the new factory, and in the coming years to create 3800 jobs this news is not the two companies, but the Taiwan government. On December 6, the Taiwan government approval for the two companies' investment plan.
The two companies plan to invest in Taiwan is expected to become the Taiwan government in introduce new preferential measures to attract local enterprise return of the first results, but can into science and technology and great made photoelectric all refuse to "Chinese real times" columns and other publishing channel it published officially comment, and say they don't want this media attention. The two companies in the Taiwan strait have business. Can science and technology into a officials said, said the company will business "move back" Taiwan is a false statement, because although it will expand your business in Taiwan, but into science and technology will continue to set up factories in mainland China.
Apple and the two Taiwan company in dealing with the business will move back home have so different attitude, this shows that the two beautiful Taiwan manufacturing difficulties facing have their differences. The difficulties faced by Taiwan manufacturing though in some respects and the United States similar, but in some other aspects are more complicated. Taiwan's science and technology enterprises in the past few decades have basic admiral, its production business moved to mainland China, in order to reduce costs, but they have to hold good and at the same time on both sides of the Taiwan straits government and big overseas customers with their business interests relations between subtle, and the relationship between each other sometimes conflicts exist.
Because the salary of all over China are on the rise, and mainland China an increasing number of Labour unrest events are also threatening the local factory operation, Taiwan to see persuade local enterprise will move back Taiwan business opportunities, Taiwan local media will move back this is called "salmon migration". Taiwan ministry of economic affairs industrial development bureau officials say they do not know what the Taiwan company willing to talk about them to participate in the Taiwan government attract local enterprise return plan. Announced a technology and big made photoelectric back to Taiwan to invest plan is the Taiwan ministry of economic affairs department of industries.
The industrial policy group deputy leader ChenHuiYing said, return to Taiwan investment of Taiwan enterprises often wish to keep a low profile, this may be to avoid accidentally offend to customers or they deal with the local government. She said, because these Taiwan enterprises have many still in mainland China business have factory, they may want to avoid any published may be interpreted as a local business environment to the mainland negative views of speech. In addition, Taiwan's upstream suppliers tend to believe that any form of public concern is not good.
ChenHuiYing said, when Taiwan enterprises to the relevant departments of the industrial development bureau of economic information consultation, they should leave your phone number, but they even belong which industries does not wish to disclose; Although they hope investment Taiwan, but they don't want his name was declared out.
Taiwan newly launched to investment preferential measures introduced last month, the ambitious goal is, the next two years to return to Taiwan enterprises overseas Taiwanese investment by the more than doubled, to nt $200 billion ($6.89 billion). Enterprise want to enjoy the preferential measures need to satisfy several conditions, such as in Taiwan production important parts and own brand products marketing, etc.
ChenHuiYing said, these new preferential measures of a big attractions, is to return to Taiwan investment enterprise can be the business enterprise inside foreign workers accounted for of the total number of employees from the current 30% to 40%. Taiwan enterprises often said that local blue-collar workers shortage is interfering with their investment in Taiwan a factor.
But these preferential measures also had sparked controversy, especially people with the trade union, they said these measures for Taiwan introducing more cheap foreign labor created the possibility, but this kind of practice to the local labor adverse. Taiwan's current local blue-collar workers and foreign blue-collar workers are covered by the same minimum wage standard, but Taiwan's business groups have suggested that the government let the two groups is respectively different minimum wage standard.
These preferential measures also incurred Taiwan university professor of economics, such as LinXiangKai economists criticism. He said that if Taiwan hope their enterprise along the value chain upward climb, it needs to take measures to encourage the enterprises to improve the automation level, and not the use of cheap Labour. Taiwan technology industry senior people, Taiwan's largest computer enterprise Acer co., LTD. (Acer) founder langlois, r.n recently warned that Taiwan must ensure that it attracts back manufacturers will produce high value product.
But acer chairman WangZhenTang for these preferential measures have more positive evaluation. Local media in Taiwan was quoted as saying he recently in a science and technology activities of the words, focusing on Taiwan enterprises to attract more investment in Taiwan is Taiwan government five years doing "the right thing".
