Taiwan bans export of chips to Russia and Belarus

Taiwan’s economy ministry has banned the export of modern chips to Russia and Belarus in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

As Ukrinform reports, Taiwan News reports.

Specifically, this week, Taiwan’s Ministry of Economy published a list of strategic high-tech products that are banned from exporting to Russia. The ministry said that the export of these high-tech products will also be banned in Belarus, as it can help Russia circumvent sanctions.

It is stated that companies in these two countries are now prohibited from purchasing microprocessors or chips made in Taiwan with any of the following characteristics: 5 gigaflops or higher performance rating; Electronic component clock frequency above 25 MHz; one or more ports and interfaces provide a transfer rate between components of 2.5 MB / s or more; More than 144 contacts or the main switching propagation delay time is less than 0.4 nanoseconds.

Also, Taiwan will no longer sell chip making equipment to these countries. These include scanning electron microscopes.

As Ukrinform reported, in April Taiwanese authorities announced new sanctions against Russia that will limit the export of high-tech products needed for the manufacturing, telecommunications and military-industrial complex sectors.

The European Union and a number of other countries, including the United States, Canada and Australia, have imposed sanctions on Russia for its war in Ukraine. Many companies announced the end of business in Russia and withdrawal from projects with Russian partners.
