Brawl erupts at TSMC construction site in Taiwan over entry order dispute

A violent clash involving construction workers occurred at the site of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) 18th plant in the Southern Taiwan Science Park. The incident, described as a "group fight," involved workers from different contractor groups.

Reports suggest the dispute began as a verbal argument concerning the order in which the contractors were to enter the site. This disagreement quickly escalated into a physical confrontation, with some individuals reportedly resorting to using baseball bats as weapons.

Police were called to the scene to manage the brawl and restore order. The authorities have initiated an investigation into the incident, which could lead to charges related to mob violence and assault. The disruption at the facility, known as the "Guardian Mountain" of Taiwan's tech industry, highlights tensions that can arise even in major industrial development projects.
