MingDao University recruited over 40 students from Eswatini to take part in a work-study program called the "Taiwan Work/Study Scholarship". According to the its June 2018 advertisement, the students would earn a wage sufficient to cover their expenses as students, while working toward a bachelor's degree in business administration. The students were instead directed to peel chicken skin in a chilled factory environment. One student likened the situation to "slavery", alleging they could not simply leave since the university would punish those remaining behind. Yu Jung-hui (尤榮輝), chairman of the Union of Private School Educators (UPRISE), called for an investigation and said that 47 students were used for "slave labor" and that MingDao University is "almost an international fraud".

The island is also a lot drier and sunnier than the Taiwanese mainland. The vast majority of rain falls in summer as the East Asian monsoon penetrates the high-pressure systems otherwise dominating the area. Winters are dry with comfortable weather for outdoor activities, although cloudier than the low rainfall amounts would suggest.
