The cultivation of semiconductor talents has become the biggest problem that plagues many industries

28 August 2023

South Korea's "Asian Economy" reported on December 3 that the loss of talent in the Korean semiconductor industry has already led to a red light, and the main reason for this situation is that Korean media blame Chinese officials and companies for recruiting talent.

The report pointed out that Samsung Electronics filed a lawsuit against a former senior executive in charge of D-Ram, applying for a temporary disposition to ban the transfer, because the senior official switched to a Chinese semiconductor manufacturing company.

The report believes that since China put forward the slogan of "the rise of semiconductors", China's behavior of tapping Korean semiconductor talents has intensified. Although Korean companies have been wary of the outflow of core technical talents, they can only do nothing because of lack of specific countermeasures. The loss of a large number of core talents will inevitably weaken the strength of the Korean semiconductor industry.


Earlier reports also expressed similar views. The Korean media "Korean Daily" complained on November 7 that semiconductors are the pillar industries supporting the Korean economy, and that China’s attempts to dig up core talents in the technical fields such as Korean displays are becoming more and more explicit. . In order to narrow the technological gap in one breath, Chinese companies have launched an indiscriminate “hunt hunting”.
