Taiwan tightens sanctions against russia and belarus
Kyiv • UNN
Taiwan has banned the export of high-tech goods to russia and belarus to prevent their military use, in line with Western sanctions.
Taiwan has expanded the list of goods banned for export to russia and belarus to prevent the use of Taiwanese high-tech goods for military purposes. This was reported by UNN with reference to a statement by the Ministry of Economy of Taiwan.
Details
The ministry explained that the list of sanctioned goods in relation to russia and belarus was expanded "in order to implement international cooperation and prevent the export of our high-tech goods for military purposes."
The list includes equipment for the production of semiconductors, in which Taiwan is a world leader, as well as certain chemicals and medicines.
The new sanctions are in line with similar moves by the European Union, the United States and other countries based on the discovery of Western-made high-tech components in Russian equipment on the battlefield in Ukraine, the Taiwanese ministry said in a statement.
Addendum
Taiwan condemned russia's aggression against Ukraine and joined other Western sanctions against it. This step is symbolic in practice, as there is only minimal direct trade between the island and russia.
Recall
The United States imposed sanctions on 10 companies and 4 individualsrelated to the production of Iranian drones used by Russia in attacks against Ukraine.
The sanctions network includes companies from Iran, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Indonesia.
