  "summary": "Nokia is exiting mainland China after two decades, closing nearly every remaining site by year-end. According to the Asia Times, this includes its research and development site in Hangzhou, which will cut about 1,600 jobs. This move is seen as a sign that Europe and China are severing their telecom supply lines.\n\nTaiwanese prosecutors have charged nine people, including one from Nvidia and two from Super Micro, for illegally exporting \"high-end AI servers\" to mainland China. The Associated Press reports that the exports were in violation of US export controls, which have been in place since 2022. The controls require licenses for exports of advanced chips to China and a strict review process for sales of high-end AI servers.\n\nThe US has tightened export controls on Nvidia's chips to China over the years, including requiring licenses for exports of Nvidia's H20 chips to China in April 2025. Ars Technica reports that Taiwan launched a probe into the scheme after the US arrested Supermicro co-founder Wally Liaw in March for allegedly funneling $2.5 billion in restricted AI servers to China since 2024.",
