00:00Taiwan has launched an investigation into 17 Chinese companies suspected of illegally recruiting workers from its semiconductor and other high
00:09-technology sectors.
00:11Authorities say the recruitment drive targeted specialists in chip design, semiconductor equipment and battery technology.
00:19The companies allegedly set up operations without approval and concealed their Chinese ownership by posing as Taiwanese or foreign businesses.
00:28Taiwanese law restricts Chinese investment in parts of the semiconductor supply chain.
00:33These rules make it difficult for Chinese semiconductor companies to establish a legal presence on the island.
00:39Taiwan has conducted similar raids to protect its semiconductor expertise,
00:43as officials warn that the loss of skilled workers could erode its global technological standing.
