US Investigates TSMC for Potential Sanctions Breach with Huawei

The probe into Taiwan's chip giant could disrupt Apple's chip production amid allegations of unauthorized sales to Huawei.

The U.S. Department of Commerce is investigating TSMC for allegedly supplying chips to Huawei, potentially violating sanctions.
Huawei has been blacklisted by the U.S. since 2020 due to national security concerns, prohibiting it from obtaining advanced chips.
TSMC, a key supplier for Apple, could face penalties that might impact its ability to produce chips for the tech giant.
The investigation focuses on whether TSMC used intermediaries to bypass restrictions and if due diligence was conducted.
TSMC has stated its commitment to compliance and is cooperating with the investigation, ready to take prompt action if necessary.
