Taiwan blacklists leading chipmakers Huawei, SMIC amid US-China tech rivalry
Taiwan has officially blacklisted Chinese tech giants Huawei and SMIC, along with several of their subsidiaries, barring them from certain trade activities. This move, part of Taiwan’s updated "Strategic High-Tech Commodities Entity List," reflects the escalating tech tensions between the U.S. and China—with Taiwan caught in the middle. Neither Huawei nor SMIC responded to the decision, which tightens restrictions on their access to critical semiconductor technology.
