If this is true I am truly shocked. Supermicro was founded in Taiwan. I have been on livestreams with a friend who moved there and had Chinese Air Force planes flying over the bay outside his window. He said they will test defenses a couple of times a year. To live with that and still decide to betray your country as well as giving China a step up in the AI race.
The article at least makes it look more like an issue in terms of American law rather than Taiwanese law/policy. I'm curious if a Taiwanese reader would view it as betrayal, or as just corporate fraud.
You are correct what they did is a violation of American law. I could not find evidence but my gut tells me he also violated Taiwanese law. Taiwan does not want to lose access to Nvidia chips as an untrusted partner.
