Taiwan has blacklisted Huawei Technologies and its major chip supplier, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC), requiring local businesses to secure licenses before engaging with these companies. This step aligns with U.S. initiatives aimed at limiting China's access to advanced technology, reinforcing U.S. calls for Taiwan to tighten controls on chip-related dealings with China. These sanctions are part of a wider effort to curb the transfer of essential semiconductor technology to China. EPA/RITCHIE B. TONGO
