Taiwan is investigating 17 Chinese-funded companies suspected of illegally recruiting engineers in semiconductors, AI, batteries, and defense. Authorities searched 64 locations and questioned 114 people between July 13 and August 4, according to reporting published Friday.

An activist has sought the revival of a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into alleged tiger poaching at Corbett National Park, claiming the Supreme Court was misled into staying the investigation on a Uttarakhand high court order seven years back. The Supreme Court stayed the probe in 2018. (ANI) Atul Sati, the activist who is from Uttarakhand, filed an application for the vacation of the stay on November 1. He alleged that crucial facts on which the high court order was based were concealed from the Supreme Court. Sati said they included the findings of the Wildlife Institute of India (WII). The Supreme Court issued notice on an appeal by the then Uttarakhand chief wildlife warden DS Khati, and stayed the high court order in October 2018. Khati had argued that the high court ordered the CBI probe based on newspaper reports without hearing the state or its officials. Sati’s application said that Khati misled the court. He said the CBI probe order was passed after “damning facts” were brought to the high court’s …
