There is no evidence for this.
In fact the evidence at hand suggests completely the opposite. Let's take the Scott Ezell deportation which is a case that Aristotle often holds up as being evidence of wrong doing by the government. In that case the CLA supported Scott by giving him an extension and permitting him to remain in country to fight his deportation which was instigated by the FAP for breach of ARC. This is just one case that comes to mind.
Maybe Aristotle can provide some evidence of his claims about the CLA.

Most non Chinese working on Taiwan are forced to work as slaves or indentured servants and treated no better than animals by their local Taiwanese/ Chinese overlords.
Aristotle this is an offensive comment and I ask you to self-moderate by editing this out of your post.
How can you even suggest that foreign teachers even compare to slaves. I find it disgusting that you trivialize slavery in this way.
Are there foreign slaves in Taiwan - quite possibly if we look at south east asian migrants.
Are there any foreign teachers in Taiwan working in conditions akin to slavery -most definitely not.
I realize that Aristotle did not specify foreign teachers in his post, but this is the group that he purports to represent, and this is the group that this board relates to, so it is logical to suggest that this is the group that he was referring to.
