International students exploitation
editOver 40 Sri Lankan students duped into working in Taiwan slaughterhouses. The director of the Tainan campus of Kang Ning coordinated with brokers in dispatching the Sri Lankan students to work in underground factories and poultry slaughterhouses.
Kang Ning senior officials reportedly said to the students, "As long as you pay for your air tickets, you can go to Taiwan to study for free, and you can earn money by working part-time." However, later, Yen Kang-tsung (閻亢宗), Chief Secretary of the University of Kang Ning said that arrangements had been made for the students to work illegally by the "fake brokers" before they came to the university to attend classes, and the school had issued work permits. Yen said the school was completely unaware of the situation.
A Sri Lankan student was quoted as saying, "I regret studying in Taiwan, and I don't trust Taiwanese anymore.". Of the 61 students from Sri Lanka originally enrolled at the university, 20 have since returned home, while 41 still remain.[4]
