manufacturing facilities to China, Lo said.
Powerchip and ProMOS applied to manufacture memory chips in China about a year ago, after the government said three years ago that they would give permission to three Taiwanese chipmakers to make low-end 0.25-micron chips
in China. The applications are still pending before the National Security Council gives them a green light, the Minister of Economic Affairs Ho Mei-yueh (何美玥) said last week.
Lo urged the government for further relaxation, like allowing investment by chip packaging and testing firms and small-sized flat-panel makers across the strait, as well as the investment cap of 40 percent of listed companies’net value and direct freight and passenger links.
