新措施生效后，根据《贸易法》，向中国运送受限制的人工智慧硬体将构成刑事犯罪。尽管美国长期限制中国购买辉达和超微的晶片，但过去几年仍有价值数十亿美元的硬体透过黑市流入中国，而台湾目前尚未将未经授权向中国出口此类晶片视为犯罪，只能依其他现有法律起诉疑似走私者。
这项管制将成为赖清德政府为维护台湾技术与国家安全利益所采取的最严格措施之一，同时也回应了美方对出口管制的关切。此外，龚明鑫透露台湾计划筹集数十亿美元在美国开发工业园区，为辉达及其他人工智慧硬体制造商建立完整的美国境内供应链基础。
Taiwan is preparing to tighten export controls on artificial intelligence chips to further align with US restrictions, joining a clampdown on the smuggling of cutting-edge semiconductors to China. Minister of Economic Affairs Kung Ming-hsin stated that Taipei plans to add AI servers and advanced semiconductors to its list of controlled items, aligning with commitments made in the Agreement on Reciprocal Trade signed by the US and Taiwan this year.
Once the new measures take effect, shipping restricted AI hardware to China will become a criminal offense under the Foreign Trade Act. Although the US has long restricted Chinese purchases of chips from Nvidia and AMD, billions of dollars' worth of hardware have still entered China through a black market over the past few years, while Taiwan currently does not treat unauthorized AI chip exports to China as a crime and can only prosecute suspected smugglers under other existing local laws.
These controls will represent some of the strictest measures by President Lai Ching-te's administration to safeguard Taiwan's technological and national security interests while addressing US concerns over export controls. Additionally, Kung revealed plans to raise billions of dollars to develop industrial parks in the US, establishing a foundation for a comprehensive domestic supply chain for Nvidia and other AI hardware manufacturers.
