Chinese language firms Huawei and SMIC could have a troublesome time accessing sources wanted to construct AI chips, as a consequence of Taiwanese export controls.
Bloomberg stories that Taiwan’s Worldwide Commerce Administration placed the two companies and their subsidiaries on an updated list of entities designated as strategic high-tech commodities. Which means Taiwanese companies will want authorities approval earlier than they’ll ship something to both firm.
Consequently, Huawei and SMIC will lose entry to Taiwan’s plant building applied sciences, supplies, and tools, probably setting again China’s efforts to develop new AI semiconductors, Bloomberg says.
“On June 10, we added some 601 entities from Russia, Pakistan, Iran, Myanmar and mainland China together with Huawei and SMIC to the entity checklist to fight arms proliferation and tackle different nationwide safety issues,” the commerce administration mentioned in a press release.
