Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) warns it may struggle to prevent China from accessing advanced AI chips amid US export controls. Despite efforts, TSMC’s role in the supply chain limits its visibility over chip usage, posing challenges in compliance. A report reveals TSMC-produced chips were found in restricted Huawei products, risking sanctions. Additionally, US President Trump’s proposed tariffs on semiconductor imports could disrupt TSMC's operations, affecting the global supply chain and raising costs.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has reportedly informed its Chinese customers that it will no longer supply them with its most advanced artificial intelligence chips. Starting from Monday, TSMC will no longer manufacture AI chips at advanced process nodes of 7 nanometers or smaller for Chinese firms. This move comes as the US government plans to implement new export controls on chip supplies to China in the coming months, and reflects the broader effort to restrict Chinese firms' access to advanced technologies due to national security concerns. TSMC's decision is not expected to have a significant impact on its revenue.
