Taiwan places export controls on Huawei and SMIC

Chinese companies Huawei and Smic have a hard time gaining access to resources needed to build AI chips because of the Taiwanese export controls.

Bloomberg reports that the international trade administration of Taiwan The two companies and their subsidiaries placed on an updated list of entities Designated as strategic high -tech raw materials. That means that Taiwanese companies need government goods inspection before they can send everything to both companies.

As a result, Huawei and Smic will lose access to the building technologies, materials and equipment from Taiwan, possibly the efforts of China to develop new AI and half guides, says Bloomberg.

“On 10 June we added around 601 entities from Russia, Pakistan, Iran, Myanmar and mainland China, including Huawei and Smic to the entity list to combat weapon proliferation and tackle other national security problems,” said trade administration in a statement.
