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, which 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 The mainland 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 itself in the future. 40% of the chips, more than four times the current. Some Taiwanese officials said that Beijing is attracting companies and engineers on both sides of the strait, even giving five times the salary, and sometimes enticing newly recruited employees to bring them new designs. blueprint.
Lin Wei-cheng, an official of the investigation bureau of the Taiwan authorities, said: 'The hunting behavior in mainland China is getting worse and worse. We are the same race after all, geographically close, easy to communicate, and Taiwan has expertise. According to the analysis of The Wall Street Journal, nine of the top 10 technology-related lawsuits in Taiwan were related to mainland China companies.
On the 2nd, the director of the Taiwan Research Center of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, Sheng Jiuyuan, said in an interview with the Global Times that in the field of scientific and technological development in the world, it is a normal state to purchase patents through enterprise cooperation, and no one company relies entirely 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 confusion. Moreover, in the process of transformation and upgrading, the degree of investment of R&D by mainland enterprises is often ignored. Sheng Jiuyuan said that China's investment in science and technology research and development is almost equal to that of developed countries in the world, accounting for 2.5% to 3% of GDP. For example, Huawei invests more than 10 billion US dollars each year for research and development, but many people are working hard on this aspect of the mainland. Turn a blind eye.
Sheng Jiuyuan told the Global Times that the entire semiconductor industry is very complicated. In a complete industrial chain, Taiwan's current so-called technology is mainly reflected in the manufacturing process. They know how to produce the highest quality products at the lowest cost. This is not an original technology. Others can explore it through practice and experience. Throughout the semiconductor industry, Sheng Jiuyuan said that technology is mainly in the hands of the United States, key equipment is in the hands of Japan and Germany, and Taiwan is only rich in processing. The experience does not have obvious technical advantages.
