Due to the rise of economic power, in February 2018, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council in China has launched a series of policies called “Favor Taiwan and Encourage Integration” to use economy to unify Taiwan with China. The content includes eight policy measures, namely Taiwanese investment, land tax rate concessions, finance, education, culture, film and television, public welfare, and medical care. Among them, the measures of investment and economic cooperation are accelerated and give Taiwan-funded enterprises have the same treatment as Chinese enterprises. Meanwhile, they gradually provide Taiwanese compatriots with the same treatment as Chinese local people in studying, initiating businesses, working, and living in the mainland. All of these have caused unprecedented shock. This study aims to examine three major questions. First, do the policy of Favor Taiwan and Encourage Integration have a magnetic effect for Taiwanese medical staff? Second, do the current medical policies, medical resources, medical quality and medical manpower and standards in China affect the willingness of Taiwanese medical staff to practice there? Last, are Taiwanese medical employees who are burnout and have low retention work there because of deterioration of working conditions, such as excessive work pressure, overtime work, heavy workload, frequent medical disputes, unreasonable salary structure, widely unbalanced number of medical staff and patients, and tight relationships between medical staff and patients? This study was conducted by using in-depth interviews, targeting medical institution owners, current medical staff in Taiwan, and Taiwanese medical practitioners in China. After analyzing the data, the relevant research findings were summarized as follows. First, China’s Favor Taiwan and Encourage Integration policies did not have the significant magnetic effect on Taiwanese medical staff. Second, China’s current medical conditions such as policies, resources, and quality and standards of manpower did not attract Taiwanese medical staff to work in China; their willingness was really low. Finally, there was no significant relation between medical staff’s willingness to work in China and the worse medical conditions in Taiwan (including the problems of medical environment, manpower, salary structure, and working hours, and the like). Based on the results of the data analyses, this study provides relevant suggestion for practical application.
