Dr. Jeremy Chih-Cheng Chang, CEO of DSET, and delegations of DSET met with Rear Adm. (Ret.) Mark Montgomery, senior director of the Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), and the FDD team in Washington, D.C.
The meeting centered on DSET’s recent report on legacy chips and extended to relevant issues of economic security and strategy of emerging technology. The parties exchange their insight and research findings on China’s semiconductor strategy, national security risk within the global supply chain of legacy chips, development strategy for the drone industry, and Taiwan’s energy resilience under PRC’s quarantine on Taiwan. Specifically, the parties exchanged views on viable policy tools for establishing a secure supply chain of legacy chips.
Rear Adm. (Ret.) Mark Montgomery recently visited Taipei with Matt Pottinger, former U.S. deputy national security advisor, last February. During their visit to Taipei, DSET invited Taiwan’s national security and technology policy officials to have a closed-door discussion with Rear Adm. (Ret.) Mark Montgomery and Matt Pottinger. Through today’s meeting, the parties have identified shared research interests.
