This article blew me away. Before I read this article, I thought Science Park is a clean industry with good technology and good paid. But after this article, my view towards the science park totally changed. Right now, Science Park is just like another coldblooded multinational corporation. Without the strict regulations on land use and waste disposal, Science Parks are able to expand without limit. When I saw the statistics on the amount of pollutions dumped by the companies, I’m just completely shocked. I never knew about the enormous power the science park have.
These companies are also compressing their employees. When this article talks about how the workers in the science park are forced to sign contracts and keep everything in the park as secrets, I literally got stung. I always thought Taiwan is a free country, until I read this disturbing article. It feels like the employees are forced to live against their will.
Lastly, I’m ashamed when I see how the governments are letting these companies skip pass regulations. This seems like a huge scandal and a huge lie. If the government don’t care about our health, who does? The final feeling I have towards this article is depression. I just hope, this situation can change with the new government.

I use to think the science park is a clean technology "nest" too but until one day My dad told me the water that wash IC chips was really toxic. I was shocked. I use to think science park is Taiwan's pride.
hmm...
it's interesting that I have the chance to read your blog and the paper about environment of science park.
