Taiwan authorities officials and company executives said that Taiwanese manufacturers are making chips for big American companies, including Apple and Qualcomm. China intends to target Taiwan, both as a separate province and as a strategic goal. - Reduce dependence on foreign suppliers.
According to the article, there were 8 cases of technology theft in 2013 and rose to 21 last year. For political reasons, the Taiwan authorities and lawyers did not sue most Chinese companies that were considered to be the ultimate beneficiaries. The report also said that although China produces Most of the world's smartphones and computers, but almost all of the semiconductors used to provide memory need to be imported. China spent $260 billion on imported chips last year, which is 60% higher than oil. China hopes to produce 40% of its own chips in the future. More than four times the current level. Some Taiwanese officials said that Beijing is vigorously attracting enterprises and engineers on both sides of the strait, even giving five times the salary, and sometimes enticing newly recruited employees to bring them new design blueprints.
Lin Wei-cheng, an official of the 'investigation bureau' of the judicial department of the Taiwan authorities, said, 'China's hunting behavior is getting more and more serious. We are the same race after all, geographical proximity, convenient communication, and Taiwan has professional knowledge. According to the analysis of The Wall Street Journal, nine of the top 10 technology-related lawsuits in Taiwan have been related to mainland China companies.
Shanghai Institute of Social Sciences, Director of the Center for Taiwan Studies, Sheng Jiuyuan, told the Global Times reporter in an interview on the 2nd that in the world of scientific and technological development, through the cooperation of enterprises, the purchase of patents and the introduction of talents is a normal state. No company has completely relied on it. Independent research and development. The so-called development itself is a process of mutual communication and mutual learning. It cannot be said that the mainland has stolen Taiwan’s data from obfuscation. Moreover, in the process of transformation and upgrading, the degree of investment in R&D by mainland companies is often overlooked. Sheng Jiuyuan said that the proportion of China’s investment in R&D in R&D is almost equal to the developed countries in the world, accounting for about 2.5% to 3% of GDP. For example, Huawei invests more than US$10 billion in R&D each year, but many people can work hard for the mainland. Turn a blind eye.
Sheng Jiuyuan told the “Global Times” reporter that the entire semiconductor industry is very complicated. In a complete industrial chain, the so-called technology in Taiwan is mainly reflected in the manufacturing process. They know how to use the lowest cost to produce the highest quality products. This is not an original technology. Others can work out through experience and experience. Throughout the semiconductor industry, Sheng Jiuyuan stated that technology is mainly in the hands of the United States, and key equipment is in the hands of Japan and Germany. Taiwan is only rich in processing. The experience does not have obvious technical advantages.
