The U.S. has ordered TSMC to stop shipping advanced AI and GPU chips to China starting Monday.
This decision follows concerns that TSMC chips were found in Huawei’s AI processors, potentially violating export controls. TSMC has informed its Chinese clients that shipments are now suspended. Huawei, already on the U.S. trade blacklist, faces further challenges in developing AI technology. The U.S. is also targeting other companies involved in shipping these chips to China as part of a broader effort to limit China’s access to advanced tech. TSMC has confirmed it will follow all export regulations.
