So.. TSMC can't post job postings in Mainland China but what's to stop engineers from being hired to SMIC?

Believe it or not, TSMC owns and operates a fab in Mainland China, a 28nm one. So I imagine it posts quite a bit of job posting in China. It has recently applied for fab expansion in China, asking for some of that sweet, sweet free money CCP is doling out.

1. Taiwan barring its citizens from taking such jobs - that's what the story is - did you even read it??

2. Any person who left TSMC for SMIC is blacklisted now. They'll never work in Hsinchu et al. again.

Where in the article does it say Taiwan is barring its citizens from taking such jobs. It's simply telling the staffing companies to remove such postings. The engineers could still apply directly.

>Taiwan barring its citizens from taking such jobs - that's what the story is - did you even read it?

I just read the OP and found nothing about barring citizens from taking jobs.
