The appointment of former TSMC SVP of Corporate Strategy and Development Wei-Ren Luo to a senior position at Intel has raised concerns among legislators over potential trade secret leakage. Some lawmakers are advising the government to more strictly guard technologies, as Japanese and US companies are closely eyeing Taiwan’s ability to mass-produce 2nm chips. Taiwan’s Minister of Economic Affairs (MOEA) Ming-hsin Kung reassured that key technologies will not be leaked.
