Hsinchu City (zh-thtw|t=新竹市|hp=Xīnzhú Shì|tp=Sinjhú Shìh|w=Hsin-chu Shih; POJ: Sin-tek) is a city in northern Taiwan. Hsinchu is popularly nicknamed "The Windy City" (zh-tht|t=風城|hp=Fēngchéng|tp=Fongchéng) for its windy climate.

Hsinchu City is administered as a provincial city of Taiwan Province in the Republic of China. The city is bordered by Hsinchu County to the north and east, Miaoli County to the south, and the Taiwan Strait to the west. Hsinchu City is composed of three districts: North District, East District, and Siangshan District.

History

In 1626, after Spain occupied northern Taiwan, Spanish missionaries arrived at Tek-khàm (竹塹; sm: zhúqiàn), where the Taokas Taiwanese aborigines lived. During the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed Hsin-Chu. In the 21st year of Kuan Hsu's Regime, Hsin-Chu Sub Office was established, responsible for independent administration on June 24. In June of the 24th Year of Kuang Hsu's Regime, it altered its local official system again. Hsin-Chu County was abolished. It was then under the administration of Hsin-Chu Administration Office, Taipei County. On November 11, 27th Year of Kuang Hsu's Regime, it established the Hsin-Chu Office. In 1920, Hsin-Chu Street was established, with the founding of Hsin-Chu Street District Office. In 1930, the city system was applied. It was renamed as Hsin-Chu City, under the governing of Hsin Chu Chou, with the establishment of Hsin Chu City Office. In 1941, its administration district was expanded, merging with Hsian Shan and Chiou Kang, and became a part of Liu Chia Chuang.

On October 25, 1945, with the return of Taiwan province from Japan to China, the Kuomintang (KMT; Chinese Nationalists) established the Hsin-Chu City Government to govern Hsin-Chu Chou. In 1946, the Take Over Committee dissolved and Hsin-Chu County Government was formed. Hsin-Chu County Government was moved to Taoyuan. As the administrative districts were readjusted, it became a Provincially governed city, using the original Chou office as its legal office, with seven district offices. In February of the same year, representative congress was formed in every district. On April 15, City Congress was formed. Provincial Representatives were elected from the city legislators, to become legislative bodies of different levels.

On August 16, 1950, the administrative districts in Taiwan were re-adjusted once more, demarcating 16 counties and 5 provincially governed cities.

In June 1982, under the President's order, the Hsian Shan Village of Hsin-Chu County would merge into Hsin-Chu City, and changed into a Provincially governed city. The Provincial government City Hsin-Chu Government was legally established on July 1, 1982, with 103 lis, and 1635 lins. The City Government is located on 120 Chung Cheng Road, the former Hsin-Chu Chou Office.

In end of June 1983, there were three Bureaus (Civil Service, Public Works, and Education), four Departments (Finance, Social Welfare, Compulsory Military Service, and Land Affairs), four offices (Secretary, Planning, Personnel, and Auditing), and 49 sections (units, teams) under the City Government's organization to provide services for various urban affairs. Affiliate institutions include the Police Department, Tax Department, and Medicine and Hygiene Department.

By the end of 1982, the city was classified into east, north and Hsian Shan districts. By the order of the provincial government, the east, north and Hsian Shan district administration offices were posted on October 1 and then they were formally established on November 1 in the same year.

From 1994 to 1999, according to the "Regulation for Hsin-Chu City Government, Hsin-Chu City Government," "Local System Law", and "Guidelines for Local Administrative Organizations", we stipulated "Regulations for Self-Governing of Hsin-Chu City Government". We also established the Moral Office and stipulated the number of personnel in the Government to be 347. We added a deputy mayor, consumer officer, and three consultants. In 2002, in order to coordinate with Mayor Lin's labor policy, we established the Bureau of Labor and transferred the business of the Compulsory Military Service to the Department of Civil Service.

Economy

The city is the base for high technology industry in Taiwan. Hsinchu Science and Technology Industrial Park is home to 360 high tech companies including TSMC, Philips, United Microelectronics Corporation, Holtek and AU Optronics. As the result, the city has the highest income level.

The purpose of the park was to attract high technology investment to Taiwan and to make the area the economic center for the information industry. The park was designed to cater for high quality R&D, production, work, life and also recreation. From its establishment in 1978, the government had invested 30.8 billion NTD on software and hardware ventures. In 2001, it developed 2.5km2 of land in the Park and 0.5km2 in southern Hsinchu, attracting 312 high-tech companies' investments. Viewing the performance of Hsinchu Science and Industrial Park in the past 21 years, it can be said that it holds a decisive position in the economic development in Taiwan, with international acclaim.

Although, the semi-conductor and related electronic business have been doing well, they have fierce competition from Japan, Korea, United States and Singapore. This has resulted in lower profits and over-supply of some electronic products such as memory and semi-conductors. Therefore manufacturers, government, academia, and the R&D sectors all recognized the challenges faced by Taiwan high-tech development. The government has endeavored to upgrade Hsinchu Science and Industrial Park into a global manufacturing and R&D center of high-end products. They also planned to intensify the cooperation among the manufacturing, academic, and research sectors, by introducing incubation centers, in order to elevate the technological standard in the park. Further, through the development of the northern, central, and southern industrial park and its satellite sites, it is hope to sow the seeds of high tech business in all of Taiwan, leading into the real high tech development era.
