Taiwan has officially added Huawei and SMIC to its "Strategic High-Tech Commodities Entity List," aligning closely with U.S. trade measures amid rising tensions with China. This blacklist targets 601 foreign entities, citing national security concerns linked to arms proliferation. Experts like Ray Wang note the move reinforces export controls and tightens loopholes for compliance. While the direct impact on TSMC may be minimal, the symbolic weight emphasizes Taiwan's commitment to U.S.-led technology restrictions, signifying a cautious geopolitical stance.
