Taiwan's Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau has targeted 17 Chinese companies suspected of illegally recruiting Taiwanese high-tech talent to undermine Taiwan's semiconductor and integrated circuit industries, conducting searches and interrogations across six jurisdictions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

Taiwan is tightening enforcement on Chinese firms covertly recruiting its tech talent, which means you must vet partners and hiring channels carefully to avoid compliance risks and protect your IP.
