The former Samsung official, Chang Won-ki, has resigned from his position from the Chinese tech firm, Beijing Eswin Computing Technology. Chang had recently joined the organization and had been the center of a controversy regarding technology leak to China.
According to a new report, the former Samsung China president has quit Eswin due to the controversy surrounding him. Chang had declined any such possibilities and even stated that the only time he was a part of Samsung’s semiconductor department was for the memory branch when the South Korean tech giant made 1MB DRAMs. Furthermore, the reason for the shift to Eswin also involved a personal friendship with Wang Dongsheng, who currently heads Eswin.

Notably, Wang was also the Chairman of display technology maker BOE, which is a known rival of Samsung. This also ended up adding fuel to the debate. Reportedly, Chang left Esin as he didn’t want any unnecessary misunderstandings and that he didn’t want to unintentionally hurt Samsung or his successors. The former Samsung senior executive had joined the company back in 1981 and had worked there till 2017.
