The chips - made in the US, Thailand, the Philippines, and South Korea - were then relabeled \"Made in Taiwan\" to dodge customs and the US export ban on shipping such parts to China, Hong Kong, or Macau. The gear included radar receivers, electronic reconnaissance equipment, jammers, and antenna arrays, and it ended up with Chinese-linked buyers. The three main defendant groups allegedly pocketed more than NT$92 million, NT$135 million, and NT$108 million between them, with four more earning smaller cuts.\n\nThis isn't an AI-chip story, it's the older and duller problem of export-control paperwork, and it shows how thin the \"Made in Taiwan\" label can be when a forged end-user certificate is all that separates a distributor from a sanctioned buyer. It also fits a pattern: TI parts turned up in Russian weapons in 2024, and Taiwan is separately prosecuting former Nvidia and Supermicro staff over servers diverted to China.\n\nTaiwan's response so far is tougher fraud and forgery sentencing, since breaking US export law isn't itself a Taiwanese crime - a gap regulators have been trying to close for years.","[\"chip smuggling\",\"export controls\",\"taiwan\",\"china\"]","2026-10-08T10:30:00.000Z","2026-10-09T07:49:02.799Z","2026-10-09T07:49:07.985Z","published",null,[],"security",[26,27,28,29],"chip smuggling","export controls","taiwan","china",[31],{"name":32,"url":33},"Tom's Hardware","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.tomshardware.com\u002Ftech-industry\u002Ftaiwan-indicts-10-for-smuggling-us-military-grade-chips-to-china-parts-routed-to-missile-and-radar-programs-using-forged-taiwan-defense-institute-orders-texas-instruments-and-analog-devices-hardware-passed-off-as-made-in-taiwan",0,{"sections":36},[37,42,45,50,55,60,65,70,75,79,84,89,94,99],{"name":38,"slug":39,"count":40,"latest_published_at":41},"AI","ai",6520,"2026-10-08T12:00:20.000Z",{"name":43,"slug":24,"count":44,"latest_published_at":18},"Security",912,{"name":46,"slug":47,"count":48,"latest_published_at":49},"Policy","policy",475,"2026-10-08T14:04:42.000Z",{"name":51,"slug":52,"count":53,"latest_published_at":54},"Deals","deals",464,"2026-10-08T14:30:00.000Z",{"name":56,"slug":57,"count":58,"latest_published_at":59},"Hardware","hardware",223,"2026-10-08T08:30:04.000Z",{"name":61,"slug":62,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Science","science",187,"2026-10-07T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":67,"count":68,"latest_published_at":69},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",175,"2026-10-08T09:16:05.000Z",{"name":71,"slug":72,"count":73,"latest_published_at":74},"Software","software",113,"2026-10-07T18:10:00.000Z",{"name":76,"slug":77,"count":73,"latest_published_at":78},"Startups","startups","2026-10-07T23:36:57.000Z",{"name":80,"slug":81,"count":82,"latest_published_at":83},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",105,"2026-10-07T16:59:11.000Z",{"name":85,"slug":86,"count":87,"latest_published_at":88},"General","general",61,"2026-10-07T22:00:24.000Z",{"name":90,"slug":91,"count":92,"latest_published_at":93},"Gaming","gaming",56,"2026-10-07T12:00:00.000Z",{"name":95,"slug":96,"count":97,"latest_published_at":98},"Reviews","reviews",33,"2026-10-05T11:57:17.000Z",{"name":100,"slug":101,"count":102,"latest_published_at":103},"How-To","how-to",8,"2026-10-05T09:00:00.000Z"]
