June 10 (Asia Today) -- Taiwan is considering tighter export controls on artificial intelligence chips bound for China as it moves to align more closely with U.S. restrictions, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.
The measure is intended to give Taiwanese authorities more legal tools to stop advanced hardware, including AI servers equipped with Nvidia chips, from being routed through Taiwan and into China.
If adopted, the move could draw a sharp response from Beijing.
The United States has restricted exports of advanced AI chips to China since 2022, requiring U.S. companies to obtain government approval before selling certain products to Chinese customers. Washington has said the rules are intended to prevent China from using advanced Nvidia processors to gain a military advantage.
