"Highly-educated researchers are Taiwan's paramount property. We understand that the scientific industrial zone in Hsinchu was run out of capacity. Whereas, we had tried to convince our researchers to relocate to the scientific industrial zone in Tainan in which the capacity never ran out. But we failed. Our researchers just didn't want to move to southern Taiwan. Furthermore, in the past, UMC forced their R & D team to move to Tainan under the same dilemma we face today. Then not for too long, UMC's R & D team broke up. This is why our technology still leads ahead of UMC nowadays. Taken together, we have no choice but to build our new R & D centers on a mountain in Hsinchu."
