Recently, upon the release of university admissions results, many students enrolled in humanities programs have decreased significantly. Some educators criticized Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co for being excessive. Surprisingly, construction of the CoWoS advanced packaging factory in development at TSMC's Chiayi site was halted due to a suspected archaeological discovery. Internet users jokingly saw this as a retaliation from humanities students. The excavation revealed artifacts like pottery shards and rings, leading to a temporary construction freeze in accordance with cultural heritage preservation laws. Plans are being made to salvage the site's artifacts, and TSMC is adjusting its construction plans by prioritizing the building of the second factory instead. Overall, the impact is expected to be minimal. This incident coincided with university admissions announcements, stirring humor online about humanities students coming out on top.
