After the pressure of the US government, Malaysia is going to tighten the regulation on semiconductor chips. It is estimated that such chips important for artificial intelligence (AI) technology are going from Malaysia to China. Although the US has banned the export of such chips to China for a long time, the US suspects that advanced semiconductor chips are being easily obtained by Chinese companies.

According to the news of The Financial Times , Malaysia is planning to tighten regulations for the sale of chips as the US is under pressure to stop the flow of semiconductor chips to China. According to Malaysia's Trade Minister Zafarul Aziz, the US government is demanding strict monitoring of the high-end Nvidia chips arriving in Malaysia with the suspicion that they will reach China.

"The US authorities are demanding that we monitor every shipment of Nvidia chips coming to Malaysia," Aziz told The Financial Times , "The US wants us to make sure that the servers coming from the US only reach designated data centers and don't immediately go elsewhere."  

Reuters reports that the United States is investigating whether or not Nvidia's chip is used in the Dipsic AI chatbot released by the Chinese company two months ago. The US is investigating how Nvidia's chip got to China as it has banned the export of chips. 

Just a few days ago, Singaporean researchers revealed that various companies in their country had fraudulently delivered advanced American servers worth nearly 390 million US dollars to Malaysian companies . Three different individuals are accused of duping companies like Dell and Super Micro into submitting false details about the destination of those servers. Similarly, various Singaporean media have speculated that the famous Chinese AI platform Dipsic has succeeded in obtaining advanced American chips in a similar manner.
