HSINCHU, Taiwan -- GlobalWafers, the world's No.3 silicon wafer maker, said talent poaching from China was its biggest concern despite healthy market demand that was likely to last until at least 2020.

"We see the brain drain as a major concern and we are very worried about China's constant poaching of talent. That is really a pressure for us," said Doris Hsu, chair and chief executive of Taiwan's Globalwafers, in an interview with the Nikkei Asian Review on July 2.
