According to this announcement, Formosa has discharged a significant amount of industrial waste, containing lots of harmful chemicals, into the ocean. This seriously polluted the water and killed the fish. The officials of the company, in a national correspondence meeting, apologized the Vietnamese people with a bow. Formosa would pay $500 million to treat the oceanic pollution and to compensate for economic losses of the region.
