Taiwan is investigating whether four of its firms broke US sanctions or its own investment rules when they provided services to Chinese companies that are reportedly helping Huawei build chip factories.
Emile Chang, a Ministry of Economic Affairs official in charge of reviewing investments, told CNN Friday that an “administrative probe” had been initiated this week into four Taiwanese companies named in a media report. The investigation will focus on whether their business activities in China were consistent with approvals they had been granted by the ministry, he said.
Formerly the world’s second largest maker of smartphones, the company has been attempting a comeback after being hit by US export restrictions, which were first imposed in 2019. Many Taiwanese companies, including chip giant TSMC and Apple supplier Foxconn, operate in China and are closely integrated into its supply chains. However, the island’s government keeps a close eye on what its companies are doing and does not allow its most advanced technology to be produced there.

Typhoon Koinu injures 190 and brings record-breaking winds to TaiwanTyphoon Koinu is sweeping southern Taiwan, injuring 190 people but causing no deaths. Its rain and record-breaking winds have lead the island to suspend flights and close schools and offices.

The storm is expected to weaken as it moves west toward Guangdong and Fujian provinces in southern China. The typhoon brought the fastest-ever wind recorded in Taiwan as it approached on Wednesday night. A weather monitoring station on the outlying Orchid Island measured a gust of 212.9 mph.
