SINGAPORE/BEIJING (Reuters) -Chip design workers at Chinese tech giant ByteDance, many based in Beijing or Shanghai, unexpectedly found out last week that they are part of a Singapore unit, three people familiar with the matter said. Having chip design staff report into a Singapore unit may help ByteDance navigate U.S.-China tensions as it seeks to access advanced semiconductor technology. Reuters was not able to learn how many of ByteDance’s chip design staff are part of this unit.
