People are critical to the high-tech industry. If many senior engineers move to the mainland with the fabs, they take skills and experience with them. Could this corroborate Mainland Affairs Council chairwoman Tsai Ing-wen's fear that: "If we let the two tigers (TSMC and UMC) out, they will return to gobble us up."
此外，高科技成敗關鍵繫於人才，若高級工程師隨廠大量外移，經驗及技術也難免隨之外流，會不會如陸委會主委蔡英文質疑的，「放出兩隻老虎（台積電及聯電），回頭咬死台灣兔子」？
