Cao Xingcheng: Taiwan did not steal US semiconductor technology, government should clarify
Cao Xingcheng, founder of UMC, refutes Trump's claim that Taiwan stole US semiconductor technology. He states Taiwan purchased technology from RCA in 1976 and details the government's significant investment in developing its own semiconductor industry, including the establishment of ITRI's pilot factory and the subsequent founding of UMC and TSMC. Cao urges the Taiwanese government and TSMC to hold an international press conference to clarify the origins of Taiwan's semiconductor technology.
