In the west and under the law of the country the company operates, yes. But this is ultimately a US protectionist act that does not carry nearly the same weight overseas. Admittedly I have no idea how the US is even remotely able to enforce this - by providing more sanctions/restrictions? They might have power over US companies that sell abroad, but after it's sold I don't see how they're preventing this hardware from being sold to any other country.
I generally try to follow the laws of the country I’m visiting whether or not I personally agree.
I’m not a lawyer, but I think in the US this is generally handled through fines or jail time depending on severity. In the case of a foreign entity, this would be a more complex problem.
However, in the specific case of TMSC there are mutually beneficial interests. The current Taiwanese government has a close defense relationship with Western powers.
