TAIPEI: Taiwan’s government on Wednesday accused China of waging economic warfare against the Chinese-claimed island’s tech sector by stealing technology and enticing away engineers, as parliament considers strengthening legislation to prevent this.
Four Taiwanese lawmakers from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party are leading a proposal to amend the commercial secrets law to widen the scope of what is considered a secret and toughen penalties. “The Chinese Communists’ orchestrated theft of technology from other countries poses a major threat to democracies,” it said.
“The infiltration of China’s red supply chain is everywhere,” she told a parliament committee meeting.
