According to the Taipei Times, he noted that while key technologies are already protected under intellectual property laws and patents, those related to national security and industrial growth need further regulations.
Minister of Economic Affairs JW Kuo concurred that the government has a duty to protect local industries and prevent the leaking of critical technologies. Furthermore, he emphasized that Chinese students should not be permitted early access to any technology tied to national security, as reported by the Taipei Times.
Kuo indicated that their primary focus would be on semiconductors, artificial intelligence, the military sector, cybersecurity, and advanced information and communication technologies. Additionally, he highlighted the biotechnology and healthcare sector as vital for Taiwan's future competitiveness, as noted by Taipei Times.
Beijing has consistently asserted its aim of reunifying with Taiwan, employing diplomatic, economic, and military pressure to isolate Taiwan on the global stage. In contrast, Taiwan, backed by a significant portion of its populace, continues to uphold its independence.
The increasing assertiveness of China and Taiwan's quest for international recognition further exacerbate the uncertainty in the region. (ANI) (This is an unedited and auto-generated story from Syndicated News feed, LatestLY Staff may not have modified or edited the content body)
