Malaysia AI chip export curb: Malaysia blocks export and transit of US-made AI chips, targets illegal shipments to China
Malaysia has placed immediate restrictions on the movement of high-performance AI chips from the US. This is to prevent unauthorized rerouting to countries like China. All movements of US-origin AI chips now need a permit. This move follows concerns about transshipment of chips via Malaysia. Malaysia is investigating reports of Chinese firms circumventing US export controls.
