China Sought to “Cheat” and “Steal”?

China has sought to “cheat” and “steal” its way to matching Taiwan in chip technology, but has yet to succeed despite investing huge sums, said Taiwan’s representative Alexander Yui on Wednesday (February 7) in a wide-ranging interview with Reuters. Yui, who arrived in Washington in December, replacing Hsiao Bi-khim, now the island’s vice president-elect, also said he hoped the U.S. Congress would pass a supplemental security funding bill that would help Taiwan with its defenses.
