This type of R&D will take place primarily at Academia Sinica, the nation's leading research institute, as well as at top universities such as the National Taiwan University in Taipei and the National Tsinghua University in Hsinchu.
Other critics of Taiwan's proposed nanotechnology program point out that China plans to spend NT$105.7 billion (US$3 billion) by 2005 on nanotechnology research, far more than Taiwan. They believe the government should put more money into R&D so Taiwan can maintain its high-tech advantage over China.
