Taipei, July 3 (CNA) The ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) warned Wednesday that Taiwan is

facing a threat from China regarding technology, including theft of intellectual property and personal data, and security breaches in various sectors from agriculture, technology and commerce.

The party issued the alert at its weekly policymaking Central Standing Committee meeting after Chiang Ya-chi (江雅綺), an associate professor in intellectual property at the National Taipei University of Technology, delivered a report on technological attacks and theft there.

DPP acting Chairman Ker Chien-ming (柯建銘) commented that as new technologies continue to be produced, they also bring to the world "asymmetric technological wars."

He was referring to the different types of technological penetration and threats from China, such as the spread of fake news or implanting of back-door software that allows theft of information related to the everyday lives of people in Taiwan, DPP spokesperson Lee Ming-li (李明俐) cited Ker as saying.    [FULL  STORY]
