# MOEA’s International Trade Administration adds Huawei and SMIC to Taiwan’s SHTC entity list Date: 2025 ## The fact On 10 June 2025 Taiwan’s International Trade Administration amended the Strategic High-Tech Commodities entity list, adding hundreds of names including Huawei and SMIC, so that Taiwanese exporters need licences before shipping listed items. The Diplomat later read it as alignment with US semiconductor-security controls under the Foreign Trade Act. It is a dated semiconductor-security act, not a finding that chip over-concentration vanished. TSMC must apply for licences; TSMC is not his company. ## Context US entity-list weather sat as parent. Neighbouring Computex AI-island talk is a later restatement. He owned the cabinet’s trade line. A listing is not a TSMC node. 2 June 2026 Computex is a later industrial restatement. 29 April 2025 reserve-and-AI briefing is neighbouring concentration weather. The president of the Republic of China (Taiwan) is head of state under the Additional Articles and commander-in-chief. He does not write a PLA communique, a TSMC capex print, or a Legislative Yuan majority. A National Day address is not a completed interceptor. An inaugural line is not a PLA missile. A special-act press conference is not a passed statute. [William Lai](/people/lai-ching-te) is a common English name for the same person; the stored English name is Lai Ching-te. ## Evidence and sources Ministry of Economic Affairs Taiwan carries the official instrument or communique. The Diplomat records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is [industrial-policy activism](/drivers/industrial-policy-activism) as economic security: a completed semiconductor-export-control listing. ## What is established and what is not Established: 10 June 2025 SHTC entity-list amendment, independently reported. Not established: that every listed shipment uniquely stopped that Tuesday, or that concentration on TSMC uniquely ended. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. He owned the cabinet. Exporters apply. Washington’s lists sat as parent weather.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies MOEA’s International Trade Administration adds Huawei and SMIC to Taiwan’s SHTC entity list, not a later speech about MOEA’s International Trade Administration adds Huawei and SMIC to Taiwan’s SHTC entity list. Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. MOEA’s International Trade Administration adds Huawei and SMIC to Taiwan’s SHTC entity list on 2025-06-10 is not a licence to treat every later Ministry of Economic Affairs Taiwan communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average MOEA’s International Trade Administration adds Huawei and SMIC to Taiwan’s SHTC entity list into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to MOEA/ITA listed. He owned the cabinet. Exporters apply. Washington’s lists sat as parent weather. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. ## People - Lai Ching-te: https://factrail.ai/people/lai-ching-te ## Drivers - Industrial-Policy Activism: https://factrail.ai/drivers/industrial-policy-activism - Energy Security: https://factrail.ai/drivers/energy-security ## Sources - https://thediplomat.com/2025/07/silicon-statecraft-alignment-taiwans-strategic-bet-on-us-led-export-controls/ - https://www.moea.gov.tw/ ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/tw-lai-shtc-2025
