Just a few months ago, a Hikvision employee was prosecuted and found guilty of illegal business operations under national security laws in Taiwan, where Hikvision and Dahua are banned in government facilities. Now, Dahua employees are accused of similar crimes.
In this report, IPVM examines what Taiwan is doing, the details of the investigation, and its implications for Dahua and Hikvision in Taiwan and beyond.
