Taiwan to Curb AI Chip Exports to China as Part of US Trade Deal: Bloomberg
The proposed rules would make AI hardware shipments to China a criminal offense and align some controls with U.S. restrictions, officials said.
- Minister of Economic Affairs Kung Ming-hsin announced plans in Taipei to add AI servers and advanced semiconductors to a list of controlled items, aligning Taiwan's export policies with American restrictions.
- American officials have alleged that Nvidia Corp and Advanced Micro Devices Inc hardware reached China through black markets, prompting Taipei to develop legal tools for prosecution.
- Currently, Taiwan cannot prosecute unauthorized AI chip exports to China as crimes; once new measures take effect, shipping restricted AI hardware to China will become a criminal offense under the Foreign Trade Act.
- Minister Kung also detailed plans to develop industrial parks in Washington, creating a comprehensive in-country supply chain for Nvidia and other AI hardware makers.
- These controls reflect President Lai Ching-te's administration's efforts to safeguard technological interests while fulfilling commitments made in the Agreement on Reciprocal Trade signed with American officials earlier this year to counter Beijing.
