Taiwan indicts 10 over alleged resale of US chips to China

· Politics · Taiwan · China

Taiwan indicted 10 people for allegedly reselling controlled US chips to China, repackaging them and disguising them as non-controlled chips made in Taiwan. Separately, workers at Micron's Taiwan plant voted to strike over bonus reforms after talks with the US memory chip giant collapsed, and a congressional panel found that trading platform Webull's China ties create national security risks, sending its stock down 18 percent. The developments underscore escalating tech and data-security tensions across the Taiwan Strait and with China.

Why it matters：Export-control enforcement and data-security probes show how the US-China tech rivalry is playing out through Taiwan's chip industry.
