Ku further projects that a continuing decline in Taiwanese manufacturing capacity could lead to the loss of more than 100,000 jobs. And if key links in some manufacturing chains (e.g. the textiles industry's dyeing sector) relocate overseas, it could lead to supply crunches that sharply weaken the manufacturing clusters that Taiwan is so proud of.
若企業在台產能持續減少，將可能造成十多萬個工作機會喪失，部分產業鏈的關鍵環節（如紡織業的染整）一旦大量外移而出現缺口，將導致台灣最自豪的「群聚」團隊戰力大打折扣。
