THE CHAIRMAN OF Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC) is facing sanctions for investing in the chip business in China.

According to the Economic News of Taiwan, Richard Zhang will be investigated for helping the semiconductor industry on the mainland to grow.

The paper said Zhang is still a Taiwanese citizen, and could face heavy fines for his involvement in building the company up.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs wants to get its governmental mitts on Zhang, and has invited him to return to the island so they can find out whether he was a Taiwanese citizen at the time of the investments.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
