Taiwan is considering expanding AI chip export controls to include all Chinese customers. The proposal would shift policy from targeting blacklisted firms like Huawei to a broader restriction.
The move aims to align the semiconductor hub with U.S. measures intended to curb Beijing’s access to advanced technology.
U.S. officials are pressuring Taiwan to close loopholes that allow Chinese companies to procure chips through overseas subsidiaries. A bipartisan group of U.S. senators is urging the White House to tighten regulations on contract manufacturers, including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC).
