In recent years, the Chinese government has run an aggressive spying program relying on information technology and the Internet, the bureau said.
Following findings by the Investigation Bureau that portable hard discs produced by US disk-drive manufacturer Seagate Technology that were sold in Taiwan contained Trojan horse viruses, further investigations suggested that “contamination” took place when the products were in the hands of Chinese subcontractors during the manufacturing process.
Seagate did not disclose the stage in the manufacturing process where the Chinese subcontractor installed the Trojan horse.
