Malaysia's Deputy Minister Liew Chin Tong has advised Chinese companies against using Malaysia as a base to 'rebadge' products to circumvent US export restrictions on semiconductor equipment.

Malaysia is a major player in the semiconductor industry, accounting for 13% of global testing and packaging, and is seen as well-placed to grab further business in the sector as Chinese chip firms diversify overseas for assembling needs. "Over the past year or so...
