AI Summary (NQ-processed)
Robert Tsao, former chairman of UMC, issued a statement on the 20th refuting former US President Donald Trump's repeated accusations that Taiwan stole US semiconductor technology. Tsao emphasized that Taiwan's technology was legally purchased from the American company RCA in 1976 under a $3.5 million contract signed by the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI). He argued that Trump's accusations have severe consequences and are a pretext to pressure Taiwan into building factories in the US to dismantle its "silicon shield," urging the Executive Yuan to publicly clarify the facts.
