Cadence to plead guilty, pay $140m to US for China sales
Cadence Design agreed to plead guilty and pay more than $140 million to resolve US charges for selling its chip design products to a Chinese military university believed to be involved in simulating nuclear explosions, the Justice Department said Monday. Cadence is accused of violating export controls by illegally selling chip design software and hardware to front companies representing China's National University of Defense Technology. NUDT's supercomputers are thought to support nuclear explosive simulation and military simulation activities, according to US Commerce Department notices restricting shipments to the university. San Jose, California-based Cadence noted a charge related to the legal proceedings in its quarterly results, also released Monday. In a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the company said it was "pleased" to reach settlements with the Justice and Commerce departments. The deal shows the US is still willing to enforce US export controls on China, even as it relaxes some of the restrictions as part of negotiations. NUDT was put on the Commerce Department's restricted trade list in 2015 to keep it from using US technology to power its supercomputers, according to department postings. Other aliases and locations were added to the university's listing in 2019 and 2022, including Hunan Guofang Keji University, Central South CAD Center and CSCC. Cadence and its subsidiary Cadence China exported electronic design automation tools at least 56 times to CSCC between 2015 and 2020, with certain Cadence China employees facilitating business with NUDT while knowing CSCC was an alias for the restricted university, court papers said. They also transferred EDA tools to Phytium Technology Co, a semiconductor company closely associated with NUDT, until 2021, without obtaining required licenses, according to court papers. Cadence agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit export control violations. It is expected to be on probation for three years, meaning it cannot commit any further violations and has to fulfill its obligations under the plea agreement. The $140 million covers criminal penalties, forfeiture and a civil penalty imposed by the Commerce department. Cadence, whose customers include major semiconductor manufacturers and companies such as Nvidia and Qualcomm, is known for its electronic computer-aided design software. Cadence was run for over a decade by Lip-Bu Tan, a Malaysian-born Chinese American business executive appointed chief executive of Intel in March. Tan was CEO of Cadence from 2008 through December 2021, which includes the period the sales took place, and was executive chairman until May 2023. The US investigation into Cadence, which began more than four years ago, involved 'historical sales by Cadence to customers in China,' according to a company filing. Cadence received a subpoena from the US Commerce Department in February 2021, demanding records related to certain customers in China. A related November 2023 subpoena followed from the Justice Department over the company's business activity in China. Entities are placed on the restricted trade list, formerly known as the Entity List, for activities deemed contrary to US national security or foreign policy interests. US companies are not allowed to ship goods and technology to them without licenses from the Commerce Department, which are generally denied. Electronic design automation tools are key to designing chips and verifying that they are bug-free. NUDT has developed chips to power university supercomputers, including Tianhe-2, once touted as the world's best supercomputer, which the US believes has been used in research on or the development of nuclear explosive devices. Twelve percent of Cadence's revenue came from China last year, down from 17 percent in 2023, amid regulatory developments and geopolitical tensions. (Reuters)

Agoda Reveals First-Half 2025 Travel Insights: China, Malaysia, and South Korea Remain Top Visitors to Thailand
BANGKOK, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital travel platform Agoda reveals fresh insights into the Thai travel landscape for the first half of 2025. Based on booking data, China, Malaysia, and South Korea are once again the leading markets visiting Thailand, followed by Japan and Singapore. Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket continue to top the list of most-visited cities among the five leading markets. Hat Yai also emerged as one of the most visited cities, particularly among Malaysian and Singaporean travelers. Hat Yai's growing popularity is likely due to its reputation for affordability, having ranked as the cheapest destination in Thailand and among the top three in Asia for two consecutive years. These destinations offer a mix of urban adventure, coastal leisure, and rich cultural experiences that appeal to a broad spectrum of travelers. Unexpectedly, the market visiting Thailand the most isn't necessarily the one staying the longest. While China tops the list for visitor numbers, the longest average stays are led by South Korea, followed by Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and then China. Additionally, each market shows unique preferences for where visitors stay longer, with many choosing island escapes for extended visits, such as Ko Tao for its world-class diving, Ko Pha Ngan for its mix of laid-back beach life and well-known party scenes, and inland destinations like Pathum Thani for a quieter, more local experience near Bangkok. Alongside Agoda's data, official figures from Thailand's Ministry of Tourism and Sports reveal that more than 16 million foreign tourists visited Thailand from January to June 2025, generating approximately 743.5 million baht in tourism revenue. With ongoing government initiatives such as the Amazing Thailand Grand Tourism and Sports Year 2025, streamlined travel procedures, and increased flight capacities, Thailand continues to assert itself as a leading destination in the region. Meanwhile, for Thai travelers heading abroad, Tokyo, Osaka, Hong Kong, Taipei, and Seoul emerged as the leading destinations for the first half of 2025. Akaporn Rodkong, Country Director at Agoda shared, "We're honored to be the platform of choice for travelers from across Asia and proud to play a role in supporting tourism in Thailand. At Agoda, we're committed to offering convenient and diverse accommodation options that help travelers explore both well-known destinations and hidden gems across the country, making their trips easier and more memorable."

Malaysia optimistic about ties with Lee Jae Myung administration: envoy
FTA at final stage, says envoy, calling on Korean firms to tap halal market and diversify across ASEAN Malaysia is committed to fulfilling the economic and strategic pledges of Korean companies made during the visit of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to South Korea last year, said Malaysian Ambassador to Korea Dato Lim Juay Jin Khalid in a recent interview with The Korea Herald. Ibrahim stressed the need for the two countries to uphold their commitment to continued cooperation following the start of the Lee Jae Myung administration in June. 'We're looking forward to working closely with the Lee Jae Myung administration," Khalid told The Korea Herald, describing the strategic partnership as more than transactional. He noted that Malaysia was one of the first countries President Lee engaged with, pledging with his counterpart to deepen ties. The nearly finalized Malaysia–Korea FTA is expected to be signed by year's end, boosting trade and regional connectivity. Lee spoke by phone with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on June 23, making Ibrahim the seventh leader to speak with the new South Korean president. Malaysia and South Korea upgraded their ties to a strategic partnership in 2024 to deepen cooperation in ESG-based investment, digital and green tech, and the halal ecosystem. Both sides aim to conclude an FTA by 2025 to benefit businesses and SMEs and boost the digital economy, bioeconomy and supply chain resilience. Bringing up the combined $7.6 billion in investment pledges by Korean companies, according to Malaysia's Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry, Khalid stressed that realizing the pledges depends heavily on South Korea's political stability under the Lee administration, implying that without it, major bilateral agreements risk stalling. Hyundai Motor plans to invest nearly $480 million from 2025 to upgrade its Malaysia plant with partner Inokom, boosting production of MPVs, minivans and SUVs. Starting at 20,000 units annually, the Korean auto giant aims to serve Malaysia and Southeast Asia to support the growth of the local electric vehicle ecosystem. 'After the visit, I have been working very hard to ensure that these pledges are realized by the companies,' he said, referring to expectations that political stability under the new Lee administration will lead to the fulfillment of pledges and bilateral agreements. With over 400 Korean companies operating in Malaysia across various sectors, Khalid said, 'We definitely encourage Korean companies to diversify investment destinations.' He considers Malaysia a halal hub for South Korean exports globally, not just to countries with large Muslim populations. 'Many Korean companies are still unaware of this potential,' he pointed out, highlighting Malaysia's strength in the financial sector and the potential for joint ventures. Khalid said he hopes for the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan of Action for the ASEAN–South Korea Comprehensive Strategic Partnership agreed at the ASEAN Ministerial Meeting, calling it 'another key milestone.' 'We believe development should be both inclusive and sustainable,' he said, citing Malaysia's 2025 ASEAN chairmanship and its theme of 'Inclusivity and Sustainability." 'We want ASEAN to be an environmentally safe zone, and we're keen to work with South Korea on this,' he said, referencing the ASEAN Community Vision 2045 and encouraging Korean companies to play active roles in maritime security, climate resilience, digital connectivity and green technology. The envoy also cited cultural exchange and ASEAN links as a growing priority. 'I want Malaysians' culture, food and values to be more familiar to Korean society,' Khalid said, noting tourism potential in regions such as Sabah, Sarawak, Malacca, Kuala Lumpur and his home state of Terengganu. sanjaykumar@
