We remind you that the US authorities have decided to ban the supply of advanced computing accelerators from Nvidia and AMD to China at least from 2022, so that violators of export control regulations will be subject to criminal prosecution even abroad. In the case of Taiwan, an important geopolitical ally of the United States, the expansion of such legal practices is foreseeable.
The suspects were detained in Keelung, in northern Taiwan, and prosecutors said they were fully aware that their organization’s activities to supply artificial intelligence servers to China were illegal. At the same time, they bypass Supermicro and Nvidia’s internal restrictions in this regard and become employees of these companies. The device makers did not provide Reuters with comment on the situation.
