Chao Wei-nan explains, "Taiwanese businesses employ 1.5 million people in Dongguan. Almost half of the city's economic output is connected to Taiwanese businesses. If Taiwanese businesspeople didn't participate as much as they do in the local community, they would not be accepted. This would be detrimental to the long-term viability of Taiwanese businesses in the city."
