Whether the Government should increase the financing of pure science at the expense of technology or vice versa / often depends on the issue of which is seen as the driving force.

My question is why use of which rather than which in the above sentence?

that sentence is wrong?
I should say "Whether she will go the have a Jpanese food or Fraence one depends on the taste of which is better "Could i say that Whether she will go the have a Jpanese food or Fraence one depends on which taste is better

Answer

Whether the Government should increase the financing of pure science at the expense of technology or vice versa / often depends on the issue of which is seen as the driving force.

issue of which = issue of pure science or the issue of technology

Answer

"...depends on the issue of which (one) is seen as the driving force." That is, one of the two options for the government's spending.  If you remove "of", the sentence focus shifts.
