Malaysia to Tighten Controls on Nvidia Chip Shipments Amid US Concerns Over China

Malaysia intends to implement stricter controls on the movement of Nvidia Corp.'s chips following a request from the United States. The US has asked Malaysia to monitor advanced semiconductors to prevent their potential diversion to China, according to the Financial Times, citing Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Zafrul Abdul Aziz.
