Located in Zhubei City, the Taiyuan Technology Park is the largest privately developed technology park in Taiwan. Since the completion of the first phase in July 2001, eight phases of construction have been completed, covering an area of 60,000 pings and containing 23 buildings. (Tyhtservice/Wikipedia)
Since the completion of the first phase in July 2001, eight phases of construction have been completed, covering an area of 60,000 pings and containing 23 buildings, and the ninth phase will be completed in early 2023.
According to public information, the park has attracted 300 companies and 20,000 employees. In addition to the office, the park is well-equipped with lifestyle functions, including supermarkets, such as Meiji, Starbucks, hand-cranked beverage stores, various restaurants and other familiar food brands, as well as banks, travel agencies and kindergartens.
However, a few days ago, a weekly magazine revealed that this unexceptional-looking technology park is also a centralized location for Chinese companies to steal secrets, and it has become an important scene for several Chinese companies to steal secrets in recent years, including the head of Hong Ocean Technology, Mr. Zeng Shiwei, who leaked the major business secrets of United Wing to Shanghai Ming Ocean Technology, whose company is located in Taiyuan.
There is more than one report on the internet about the ambiguous relationship between Taiyuan Park and Chinese enterprises, and in 2017, a weekly magazine titled “The newest generation of bamboo technology: Either to the mainland or to Taiyuan? In 2017, there was a weekly magazine with the title of “The newest man in bamboo science: either to the mainland or to Taiyuan?”, telling that Taiyuan is the battlefront of the cross-strait technology war.
Foxlink Technology, which has been listed in Taiwan for more than 10 years, has been recruiting IC design talents in a large scale in the manpower bank and openly solicited more than 30 people last year. Foxlink is the agent of Huawei, a major Chinese cell phone manufacturer, in Taiwan, and the company profile page of the Human Bank carries a brief introduction about Huawei, so the relationship with Huawei can be imagined. Foxlink also has an IC design division in Taiwan, but I don’t know if it is because of the controversial relationship that has broken out, but it is not currently posted in the recruitment message in People’s Bank.
Sources close to the matter told the newspaper that the Chinese Communist Party has been grabbing talent in Taiwan’s technology parks for a long time, and even in local gyms, engineers can be heard discussing among themselves. The recent U.S.-China technology war has intensified public attention, especially because the Chinese Communist Party wants to overtake the U.S. and Taiwan in the Made in China 2025 plan, and poaching Taiwanese talent is the most favorable and convenient option.
Last year’s outbreak of the epidemic, the Chinese Communist Party can not smoothly poaching the need to go to China in person foundry talent, and thus turned to IC designers who can work on the line beckoning, Wu Jianzhong said, the Chinese Communist Party poaching Taiwan talent mode, indeed, because of the epidemic and change, but even IC designers sometimes still have to work on site, the Chinese Communist Party is willing to let them in Taiwan, there is another purpose.
He analyzed that the main purpose is to allow the red companies of the hunter head to continue to develop contacts inside the Taiwan Yuan, or to steal technology from the hands of these poached personnel. It is also important to note that the restaurants and sex establishments in the vicinity of Taiwan’s Yuan are also areas for theft of secrets, and engineers may be unknowingly stolen after they have been drinking and listening.
Strategy scholar Su Ziyun said, the Chinese Communist Party has many good IC design companies, using the U.S. design software for circuit layout and planning, the reason for recruiting Taiwanese people, there are two main purposes behind, first is to carry out the “layout” of technology penetration, through these IC personnel and Taiwan’s semiconductor manufacturers to interact, through such a connection The first is to carry out technology penetration “layout”, through these IC personnel to interact with Taiwan’s semiconductor manufacturers, through this connection to build contacts, in order to be ready for the future network, to carry out more large-scale poaching.
The second point is that Taiwanese engineers, unlike their Chinese counterparts, will receive more U.S. technology and training, and now that the U.S. is offering technology controls to China, they are instead looking for Taiwanese engineers to assist in developing circuit designs, which is tantamount to indirectly stealing U.S. technology.
The Chinese Communist Party has a strong absorption force for Taiwan talents, Wu Jianzhong also said that after the end of the epidemic, it is expected that there is still a group of semiconductor talents rushing to mainland China, will not be because of the recent incident of being Taiwan spies or by Taiwan regulations, it is worth observing.
