South Korea is expanding specialized police personnel to counter technology leakage of critical national technologies, especially semiconductors and AI, largely flowing to China. This includes increased investigation teams, regional officers supporting affected organisations, and enhanced inter-agency collaboration to address rising economic security crimes.
