Two draft bills designed to limit the exports of high technology and high-tech personnel will bring the nation into harmony with the practices of advanced countries around the world, Premier Yu Shyi-kun said yesterday.
In a defense of his administration's initiatives to control the nation's high technology and high-tech workforce, the premier told a regular Cabinet meeting that the country is not alone in setting up such limitations, but rather, is following the examples of the United States, Japan and even mainland China.
The proposed National Technology Protection Law (國家科技保護法) and the regulation on Taiwanese high-tech personnel working in China will offer local private companies a better legal means to protect their core technology from being transferred overseas and will ensure order in the market.
It will also assure foreign companies that the high technology they bring into Taiwan will not spread into undesirable countries and will thereby encourage them to export more advanced technology to the nation, Yu said.
