Taiwan Export Controls Hinder Huawei, SMIC AI Chip Role
Huawei and SMIC, two major Chinese tech firms, may face hurdles in acquiring essential resources for artificial intelligence (AI) chip production. This follows the implementation of export controls by Taiwan.
Taiwan’s International trade Governance recently added Huawei,SMIC,and their subsidiaries to a list designating them as strategic high-tech commodities. This action mandates that Taiwanese businesses secure government approval before shipping any goods to these entities.
The restrictions could block Huawei and SMIC from accessing Taiwan’s plant construction technologies, materials, and equipment. Experts suggest this could impede China’s progress in developing advanced AI semiconductors.
The trade administration stated on June 10 that roughly 601 entities from Russia,Pakistan,Iran,Myanmar,and mainland China,including Huawei and SMIC,were added to the entity list.The administration cited concerns about arms proliferation and national security.
