Taiwan adds China’s Huawei and SMIC to export control list

Deskripsi:

Taiwan has added Chinese tech giants Huawei and SMIC to its export control list, requiring Taiwanese firms to obtain permits before selling to them. The move, reflecting rising U.S.-China-Taiwan tech tensions, places the firms alongside sanctioned entities like the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Both Huawei and SMIC are already under U.S. sanctions and are developing China’s top AI chips to rival U.S. firms like Nvidia, the Associated Press has reported. Taiwan, home to leading chipmaker TSMC, has aligned with U.S. efforts to curb China’s access to advanced semiconductors.
