Key facts

An investigation revealed that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' information management system, installed in various overseas missions, contained original code from mainland China. Authorities conducted searches and interviewed four individuals from three companies involved in bidding for the system. These companies are suspected of packaging software with Chinese core code as Taiwanese original, according to reports.
