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

TAIPEI (Reuters) – Taiwan’s government has added China’s Huawei Technologies and Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC) to its export control list, which includes other proscribed organisations like the Taliban and al Qaeda.

Inclusion on the economy ministry’s trade administration’s strategic high-tech commodities entity list means Taiwanese companies will need government approval before exporting any products to the companies.

The companies were included in an updated version of the ministry’s trade administration’s website late on Saturday. Neither company nor the economy ministry immediately responded to requests for comment outside of office hours at the weekend.

Taiwan is home to TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker and a major supplier of chips to AI darling Nvidia. Both Huawei and SMIC have been working hard to catch up in the chip technology race.

Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory despite the strong objections of Taipei’s government, already has tight chip export controls when it comes to Taiwanese companies either manufacturing in the country or supplying Chinese firms.

Huawei, which is at the centre of China’s AI ambitions, is on a U.S. Commerce Department trade list that essentially bars it from receiving U.S. goods and technology, as well as foreign-made goods such as chips from companies like TSMC made with U.S. technology.

Last October, TechInsights, a Canadian tech research firm, took apart Huawei’s 910B AI processor and found a TSMC chip in it. The multi-chip 910B is viewed as the most advanced AI accelerator mass-produced by a Chinese company.

TSMC suspended shipments to China-based chip designer Sophgo, whose chip matched the one in the Huawei 910B and, in November the U.S. Commerce Department ordered TSMC to halt shipments of more chips to Chinese customers.

Taiwan’s government has also repeatedly vowed to crack down on what it says are efforts by Chinese companies, including SMIC, to steal technology and entice chip talent away from the island.

SMIC is China’s largest chipmaker and has ramped up investment to expand production capacity and strengthen China’s domestic semiconductor capability in the face of sweeping U.S. export controls.
