Indeed, running a public company in Taiwan is known not to be a pleasant thing.

Taiwan government is very activist when it comes to henpecking corporations on "governance standards." Boards of a lot of important companies are de-facto micromanaged by the state.

A stark contrast to the US, where laxity on that front is negated by mindbogglingly complex securities regulations.

For US, you can still play your game, just pay enough for lawyers. For Taiwan, not so much. Choose your poison.
