Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs announced on Thursday that following discussions with the foreign ministry, it had decided to suspend its first unilateral chip curbs on a foreign government.
The export controls unveiled on Tuesday were set to come into effect in late November and would have required prior approval for 47 products – including semiconductor wafers and memory chips – to be shipped to South Africa.
Taipei’s foreign ministry said the South African government wanted to discuss the Taipei office dispute.

The initial deadline was the end of October, but Pretoria later agreed to suspend the demand pending further talks with Taipei.
