Taiwanese prosecutors are seeking to detain three individuals, including Supermicro co-founder Yih-Shyan 'Wally' Liaw, over an alleged scheme to illegally export Nvidia Hopper-based AI servers to China using forged documents and dummy server shells. The case marks Taiwan's first formal semiconductor-smuggling crackdown and is seen as a proactive response to US pressure on Taiwan's export-control enforcement. The diversion network reportedly routed shipments through Hong Kong, Thailand, and other third-country relays. The move signals Taipei's willingness to use its own prosecution powers to back the US export-control framework ahead of potential Section 301 action.
