China is targeting Taiwan to obtain its advanced chip manufacturing technology and talent as a way of breaking through international “containment” of the country, according to a report from the island’s top security agency.
China’s scramble for chip talent and expertise has intensified as Beijing pushes for self-reliance in advanced semiconductors, amid a deepening tech rivalry with the U.S.
Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory, frequently reports busting networks of Chinese firms illegally trying to poach semiconductor and high-tech talent, and has strict laws to prevent the most advanced technologies going to China.
In a report to lawmakers, Taiwan’s National Security Bureau said that China is attempting to “lure” Taiwan’s high-tech industries, including AI and semiconductors, to establish or retain operations in China. (Reuters)
