Taiwan to add SI servers and advanced chips to its controlled-goods list: shipping them to China to become a criminal offense

Taiwan is moving restrictions on SI hardware shipments to China from regulatory rules into criminal law: control over chip supplies is getting tighter.
According to Bloomberg (the outlet's text is paywalled; details here are from Startup Fortune's retelling), Taiwan's economy minister Kung Ming-hsin confirmed the plan: SI servers and advanced chips destined for China are added to the controlled-goods list, and supplying restricted SI hardware to Chinese buyers becomes a criminal offense under the Foreign Trade Act. Instead of a blacklist of individual companies, the restrictions cover the entire Chinese market. The measure is tied to the trade agreement between Taiwan and the US signed on January 15, 2026.
