The number of cyberattacks by Chinese hackers on the ICT ministry and its research arms has surged in recent years amid intensifying competition between Korea and China in semiconductors and other high-tech industrial sectors, according to a lawmaker and cyber security experts, Monday.

Rep. Song Hee-kgyoung of the main opposition Liberty Korea Party said the number of cyberattacks on the Ministr of Science and ICT and its affiliates has doubled every year since 2017.

"Chinese hackers have long been suspected of stealing industrial technologies in the United States," Lim said. "Likewise, the hackers are believed to be attempting to steal Korea's advanced intellectual properties by conducting cyberattacks on the ICT ministry and its research units that study and develop future technologies."
