US investigates whether TSMC has really cut ties with Huawei
The United States Commerce Department has reportedly started an investigation into whether Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has violated US export rules to make chips for the sanctioned Huawei Technologies. A key focus of the investigation is the Kirin 9000S chips found inside Huawei’s Mate60 smartphones, which were launched in late August 2023 during US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo’s China trip. The question is whether these chips were made by TSMC, and whether they were shipped after a 2020 deadline for halting shipments to Huawei.
