For a long time, in addition to stealing international advanced technology through commercial espionage and international students, the communist regime (CCP) has obtained commercial secrets by bribing scientific and technological personnel of major foreign companies. To stop such theft, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea have recently taken action and legislated protective laws.
From May 23 to 26, Taiwan’s Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau (MJIB) launched a second wave of investigations into the CCP’s commercial espionage. In the cities of Taipei, Taoyuan, and Hsinchu, the semiconductor manufacturing powerhouse of Taiwan, a total of 10 Chinese companies or R&D bases operating illegally in Taiwan were identified and 70 people were investigated. The MJIB stated that during the investigation process, these companies were found to be suspected of violating the “People Relationship Regulations between the Taiwan Region and the China Mainland Region.” In order to evade investigation by Taiwan, many Chinese disguised themselves as Taiwanese or Hong Kong businessmen, and contacted Chinese companies through their personal offices, or entered Taiwan through third-party investment companies.
