The Taiwanese chipset company TSMC found that some of its chips made their way to Huawei. The information comes days after a report revealed the Bureau of Industry and Security at the US Commerce Department started investigating alleging potential violations of US export controls. TSMC issued a statement, saying it is a “law-abiding company” that is committed to complying with all rules and regulations, including applicable export controls. Huawei is currently using 7nm chips made by SMIC, although capabilities to make such SoC at scale are also questioned by US officials. The Chinese maker did manage to stockpile some chipsets that TSMC made in 2019, the Kirin 910, and we’ve seen modifications of it appear in products for years later. Is TSMC  a US company ?
