Controversy

In November 2018 it was reported in Eswatini that Mingdao University tricked more than 40 Eswatini students in working full five-day shifts in a chicken processing plant.[9] In May 2020, news broke in Taiwanese media[10][11] that this matter had been investigated by the Taiwanese Ministry of Education.
