How Has Taiwan-Japan Technical Cooperation Changed? TEL's Theft of TSMC's Technology
Amidst Taiwan-Japan friendship, recent allegations have arisen against Japan's Tokyo Electron Limited (TEL) for attempting to steal TSMC's advanced technology, learning from China and Korea. This incident raises serious concerns about the outflow of Taiwanese technology.
Intelligence indicates that these confidential technologies may flow to Japan's emerging chip manufacturing company, Rapidus. This situation casts doubt on the technical exchanges between Taiwan and Japan and may pose challenges to their bilateral relations.
