Taiwan’s International Trade Administration added 601 foreign entities, including Huawei, SMIC and many of their subsidiaries, to its Strategic High-Tech Commodities Entity List, citing arms proliferation and national security. Taiwanese companies now need a permit before shipping goods to listed entities. The agency’s statement dated the additions 10 June 2025, and the move was reported on 15 June.

Why it matters

Taiwanese chip and equipment suppliers need licences to sell to China’s two leading AI chip producers, closing a route that US export controls did not cover.
