马来西亚通讯部副部长张念群曾表示，马来西亚正在使用华为芯片和服务器开展一项开创性的人工智能项目。马来西亚政府于周三晚间（5月21日）澄清，该项目是“私人推动的”。
报道：马来西亚部长在中美科技竞争中收回关于华为人工智能交易的言论。一位华为代表告诉彭博社，该公司尚未在马来西亚销售其Ascend芯片，马来西亚政府也未购买任何芯片。
新加坡：马来西亚宣布将成为该地区首个部署华为芯片和服务器用于其开创性人工智能 (AI) 项目的国家。据报道，马来西亚一位副部长在宣布这一消息的第二天收回了之前的言论，这表明该国正在应对中美芯片战。
周一（5 月 19 日），马来西亚正式启动了该地区首个全栈人工智能生态系统。通讯部副部长张念群表示，马来西亚的战略性人工智能基础设施也标志着这家中国科技巨头的芯片和服务器以及 DeepSeek 大型语言模型首次在中国境外部署。
第二天，彭博社报道称，张念群收回了她关于华为的言论，但未作任何解释。据该新闻媒体报道，该项目是否会按计划进行尚不清楚。

Teo 的撤回声明是在美国商务部于 5 月 13 日发布指南之后做出的，该指南警告企业，使用华为的 Ascend 芯片将面临违反美国出口管制的风险。
当联系 CNA 征求意见时，Teo 的办公室建议 CNA 去联系 Skyvast，这家马来西亚公司正在与华为合作使用 Ascend 芯片。
周三晚间（5 月 21 日），投资、贸易和工业部在一份声明中表示，Skyvast 和华为参与的人工智能基础设施计划是“私人推动的”。
声明表示：“该计划并非由马来西亚政府开发、认可或协调，也不属于任何政府间协议或国家强制技术计划的一部分。”
尽管马来西亚政府热衷于建设人工智能基础设施，以提升公共部门的能力和服务，但“任何此类举措都需要经过适当程度的法律、运营和声誉流程，以及对如此重大的项目进行尽职调查”。
该部表示，马来西亚将继续致力于全面遵守所有适用的出口管制法律、国家安全指令以及全球监管机构的新指南。
但它补充说，马来西亚“重申其根据国家利益制定政策的主权权利”。
张志贤关于华为的声明引起了美国的关注，唐纳德·特朗普总统的人工智能和加密货币专家大卫·萨克斯转发了一份关于这笔交易的报道，并在X上写道：“正如我一直警告的那样，中国的全部技术都来了。我们及时撤销了拜登的扩散规则。美国的人工智能技术需要释放出来才能参与竞争。”
据技术解决方案公司惠普企业 (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) 称，AI 堆栈是指协同构建、训练、部署和管理 AI 应用程序的工具、技术和框架。
特朗普政府于 5 月 13 日表示，将撤销前总统乔·拜登发起的 AI 扩散规则。该规则为寻求 AI 芯片的国家/地区设立了三个广泛的准入等级，原定于 5 月 15 日生效。

Malaysia minister retracts remarks on Huawei AI deal amid US-China tech rivalry: Report
21 May 2025

Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching had said Malaysia was using Huawei chips and servers for a groundbreaking AI project. The government clarified on Wednesday evening (May 21) the project was “privately driven”.
A Huawei representative told Bloomberg it has not sold its Ascend chips in Malaysia, and the government has not bought any.
At the official launch of Malaysia’s full-stack AI ecosystem – the first in the region – on Monday (May 19), Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching said the country’s Strategic AI Infrastructure also marked the first deployment of a class of the Chinese tech giant’s chips and servers, along with the DeepSeek large language model, outside of China.
The next day, Bloomberg reported Teo was retracting her remarks on Huawei without an explanation. Whether the project would proceed as planned is not clear, the news outlet reported.

Teo’s retraction takes place after the US Department of Commerce issued guidelines on May 13 warning firms that using Huawei’s Ascend chips would put them at risk of violating US export controls.
When contacted for comments, Teo’s office referred CNA to Skyvast, the Malaysian company collaborating with Huawei on the use of Ascend chips.
On Wednesday evening (May 21), the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry said in a statement the AI infrastructure initiative involving Skyvast and Huawei was “privately driven”.
“The said initiative was not developed, endorsed, or coordinated by the Government of Malaysia, nor does it form part of any Government-to-Government agreement or nationally mandated technology programme,” it stated.
While the government is keen to build up its AI-powered infrastructure to enhance public-sector capacity and services, “any such initiative would need to go through the appropriate level of legal, operational, and reputational processes and due diligence that are required for a project of such significance”.
The ministry said Malaysia remains committed to full compliance with all applicable export control laws, national security directives and emerging guidance from global regulatory authorities.
But it added Malaysia “reaffirms its sovereign right to formulate its policies in line with national interests”.
Teo’s Huawei announcement caught the attention of the US, with President Donald Trump’s AI and crypto czar David Sacks reposting a report of the deal and writing on X: “As I’ve been warning, the full Chinese stack is here. We rescinded the Biden Diffusion Rule just in time. The American AI stack needs to be unleashed to compete.”
An AI stack refers to the tools, technologies and frameworks that work together to build, train, deploy, and manage AI applications, according to tech solutions firm Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
The Trump administration said on May 13 it is rescinding the AI diffusion rule, launched by former president Joe Biden, that created three broad tiers of access for countries seeking AI chips and would have taken effect on May 15.
