China's market is enormous and business opportunities are endless. In recent years, Taiwan's westward phenomenon has shifted from company owners and executives to run-of-the-mill Taiwanese laborers looking for work in China. However, despite the shift, many people are still rushing to China, and it's not surprising: according to a survey, China's average salary is already 1.72 times that of Taiwan.
It's actually very simple. We want the dog to do this when it hears this sound.
This Chinese pet training app was created by Taiwanese developers. Over 12,000 people downloaded the beta version, which is a lot by Taiwanese standards. In China, however, an app is considered a failure without at least 100,000 daily downloads. When it comes to domestic demand, few can rival China.
In Taiwan, 50,000 or 100,000 users is a level most apps don't reach. Per-user revenues are also very low. Even if you are somehow able to achieve volume usage, you still might not earn enough to survive.
From manufacturing to innovative industries, Taiwanese entrepreneurs are relocating to China en masse. Despite much fiercer competition, the massive market and endless business opportunities are huge draws.
Twenty-eight-year-old Zhou Si-yu has a bachelor's degree from National Taiwan University and master's degree from Peking University. She applied for 60 jobs in China without success, and interviewed for her current job four times before she was hired.
In China, there may be thousands or tens of thousands of applicants for one job. Applicants have to possess core competitiveness to even be in the running for jobs.
According to a job bank survey, China's average wage is 1.72 times higher than Taiwan but the cost of living is also 1.63 times higher, especially in larger cities. Over 45 percent of R.O.C. nationals living in China work over 50 hours a week and over half have toyed with the idea of moving back to Taiwan. Taiwanese employers say China is not the only option Taiwanese workers have.
The consumer model changes very quickly. Trends also come and go and what is acceptable culturally is also constantly changing. We have to be prepared for all eventualities before we head over.
There are over two million R.O.C. nationals working and living in China. This number is expected to continue rising due to China's new "31 Measures," which provide preferential treatment for Taiwanese workers in China. Taiwanese companies say unless the government can come up with incentives attractive enough to keep talent in Taiwan, Taiwan's brain drain will continue unabated.
