Remuneration at universities in Singapore and Hong Kong is generally 2.5-3.5 times that in Taiwan. Senior teaching faculty there can make as much as NT $ 10 million per year. That kind of money is hard to resist, with the result that growing numbers of Taiwanese scholars are taking positions in Singapore and Hong Kong.
由於星、港的大學待遇普遍在台灣的 2.5 到 3.5 倍，大師級的講座教授年薪更可能高達千萬元台幣，台灣教授難擋誘惑，星、港學界的「台灣幫」也就日益茁壯。
