Letter to Shareholders Tung Ho Steel Enterprise Corporation Business Report In 2019, global economy continues taking slow recovery pace towards stable prosperity since all central banks of countries in the world had loosened the currency policies and held on to the low interest environment over the past years. Only the US maintained stable growth in its economic status. Others had ups and downs in their performances due to the following negative factors: 1. The US ruled by Trump administration had America First and anti-globalization trade protection policies, single sided dismiss the regional trade agreement, enhance technology trade war with China and adopt measures to levy high custom duties on China. These measures directly or indirectly block the international trade and investment operation, causing shock in international economy, delaying enterprise investment plans and weakening global economic momentum. 2. Brexit issues were not resolved. England cannot reach an agreement on its relationship with the EU after Brexit, causing uncertainties and dragging on the economic recovery in Europe. 3. China was facing the dilemma of not able to maintain the rapid economic growth. Issues such as over investment, insufficient consumption, debt crisis,

  • Evaluation of Cadmium Concentrations in the Surface Sediments of Salt River Estuary, Taiwan
    The Asian Conference on Sustainability, Energy and the Environment 2013 Official Conference Proceedings Osaka, Japan Evaluation of Cadmium Concentrations in the Surface Sediments of Salt River Estuary, Taiwan Chiu-Wen Chen, Chih-Feng Chen, Cheng-Di Dong National Kaohsiung Marine University, Taiwan 0283 The Asian Conference on Sustainability, Energy & the Environment 2013 Official Conference Proceedings 2013 Abstract Major objectives of this study are to evaluation the pollution and potential ecological risk of cadmium (Cd) in the sediments of Salt River estuary, Taiwan. Nine monitoring stations were installed near the estuary of Salt River to collect sediment samples for analyzing Cd. Results of laboratory analyses show that contents of Cd in the sediments are between 0.25 and 2.54 mg/kg with an average of 1.05±0.85 mg/kg. The spatial distribution of Cd reveals that the Cd concentration is relatively high near the river mouth, and gradually diminishes toward the harbor region. This indicates that upstream industrial and municipal wastewater discharges along the river bank are major sources of pollution. Results from the enrichment factor analysis imply that the sediments can be characterized as minor to severe degree of Cd enrichment. Results of geo-accumulation index analysis indicate that the sediments can be characterized as moderate degree of Cd accumulation. Results of potential ecological risk index indicate that the sediments at Salt River estuary have high to serious ecological potential risk. Keywords: Cadmium, Ecological Risk, Enrichment Factor, Geo-accumulation Index, Sediment. iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org 247 The Asian Conference on Sustainability, Energy and the Environment 2013 Official Conference Proceedings Osaka, Japan 1.

  • The Rukai People and Collaborative Conservation in Pingtung, Taiwan
    ASSERTING SOVEREIGNTY THROUGH STRATEGIC ACCOMMODATION: THE RUKAI PEOPLE AND COLLABORATIVE CONSERVATION IN PINGTUNG, TAIWAN By Ying-Jen Lin A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Anthropology—Doctor of Philosophy 2020 ABSTRACT ASSERTING SOVEREIGNTY THROUGH STRATEGIC ACCOMMODATION: RUKAI PEOPLE AND COLLABORATIVE CONSERVATION IN PINGTUNG, TAIWAN By Ying-Jen Lin This dissertation examines how the Rukai, an Indigenous people of Taiwan, have engaged in community-based ecotourism and the state’s conservation projects in order to assert Indigenous sovereignty over traditional territories. This study focuses on the Adiri and the Labuwan communities, which are communities of the Rukai people living in the Wutai Township in Pingtung, Taiwan. The two Rukai communities have actively collaborated with the government on various conservation projects although the relationship between Indigenous peoples of Taiwan and the settler state’s forest governance system has been riddled with conflicts. Existing research has portrayed collaborative environmental governance either as an instrument for co-optation of Indigenous interests or as a catalyst for a more equitable relationship between the state and Indigenous peoples. This dissertation builds on and extends this body of work by examining how the Rukai people have continueD to assert sovereignty in the community-based ecotourism and collaborative conservation projects.

In Taiwan, government-designated EIPs have operated since 1995, with 23 industrial parks currently in operation. This study presents a case from Taiwan, the Linhai Industrial park, and analyzes the park’s transition towards industrial symbiosis and resource sharing. Resource sharing modifications resulted in reduced carbon emissions, millions of liters of fuel saved, and thousands of tons of industrial waste recycled. This successful transition was possible because of coordinated government support. Key factors include technological subsidies, policy support, and willing manufacturers. Additional explanations for Linhai’s current success are explored and future areas of research are identified. Keywords: industrial ecology; eco-industrial park; sustainability; industrial symbiosis; Linhai industrial park; Taiwan 1. Introduction Due to increasing world population and living standards, alongside the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the visibility of sustainability has increased [1]. Sustainable development is defined as “Development that meets the need of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” [2].

The employee numbers of the manufacturers are surveyed manufacturers, but not at separate wet processing companies. The list includes manufacturers of Tchibo textile products that are or will be in sale since 6 months before the publication and the wet processing units they used for these products, all manufacturers that are currently registered with the Bangladesh Accord/RSC as active Tchibo producers (also if the former does not apply). Manufacturers Primary manufactures are companies that produce the final textile products for Tchibo and have a direct relationship with Tchibo or via a supplier (agency or importer). They can form the end of a supply chain (Tier 1 or 2) by processing other companies' products - such as fabrics, zippers, buttons - or they are structured to handle most steps within their own factory ("vertical producers"). Wet Processing Units Wet processing units operate along the textile supply chain and include pretreatment, dyeing, printing, finishing, garment finishing and washing, as well as fiber/yarn/fabric production or leather tanning. Depending on the specialization and equipment of the manufacturers, wet processing units are part of vertical producers or they are independent companies.

  • Withholding Income
    Preface Taiwan has undergone rapid economic growth for more than five decades. Efforts on the part of enterprises and the government continue to sharpen Taiwan’s competitive edge, which is characterized by an extensive manufacturing base, strong research and development capabilities, a high quality human resource base, and an efficient infrastructure that includes sophisticated telecommunications capacity. The implementation of a policy that focuses on economic growth and major reforms has resulted in a more business-friendly investment climate, liberal monetary measures, and a freer market economy. In competitiveness assessments done by prominent international economic institutions, Taiwan ranks high in favorable investment climate and in competitiveness. According to the 2003-2004 Global Competitiveness Report by the WEF (World Economic Forum), Taiwan ranked fifth in growth competitiveness on a global basis and first in Asia, and sixteenth in business competitiveness. In April 2004, BERI (Business Environment Risk Intelligence) of Switzerland rated Taiwan as the fifth best investment climate in the world and third in Asia, and second in a positive government attitude towards foreign investments. The ROC government looks forward to assisting multinational companies in establishing Taiwan operations as gateway to the Asian Pacific market by utilizing the island’s favorable investment environment and competitiveness, its extensive manufacturing base, and its complete supply chains. To that end, the Industrial Development & Investment Center of the Ministry of Economic Affairs commissioned Deloitte Taiwan to compile this “Cost of Investing in Taiwan” handbook. One objective of the handbook is to help with feasibility studies by foreign investors. It contains information on taxation, investment incentives, and rents at major industrial and office sites; and cost information relating to human resources, water and electricity, and communications.

  • Estimate BTEX Concentrations Variations in a Petrochemical Parks Area Using a Geographically and Temporally Weighted Regression Model
    The 40th Asian Conference on Remote Sensing (ACRS 2019) October 14-18, 2019 / Daejeon Convention Center(DCC), Daejeon, Korea TuP-49 Estimate BTEX Concentrations Variations in a Petrochemical Parks Area using a Geographically and Temporally Weighted Regression Model Jhao-Yi Wu (1), Chih-Da Wu (1)(2), Yu-Cheng Chen (2) , Chin-Yu Hsu (2) , Mu-Jean Chen (2) 1 National Cheng Kung Univ., No. 1, Daxue Rd., East Dist., Tainan City 70101, Taiwan. 2 National Health Research Inst., No. 35, Keyan Rd, Zhunan, Miaoli County 35053, Taiwan. Email: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] KEY WORDS: BTEX pollutants; air pollution; Geographically Temporally Weighted Regression (GTWR); petrochemical industrial area. ABSTRACT: Many studies have considered volatile organic carbons (VOCs) such as BTEX (toluene, ethylbenzene, mp-xylene, and o-xylene) as hazardous air pollutants. Besides contributing to the formation of ozone, the further effects of BTEX on health can increase the risk of cancer. The petrochemical industry is a major contributor to BTEX emissions, so determining the variations of these pollutants in the petrochemical industrial area is needed to reduce health risks due to BTEX exposures. In this study, a specific industrial monitoring database was used to collect BTEX data from May 2015 to September 2018 in Kaohsiung Petrochemical Parks area (including Linyuan Industrial Park and Linhai Industrial Park), Taiwan. Land use inventory, MODIS NDVI, digital road network map, temple, Chinese restaurant, thermal power plant, and weather variables were used as potential predictor variables in developing the prediction model.
