WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Republican chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on China demanded answers on Wednesday from the Commerce Department and TSMC after a chip made by the Taiwanese company was found in a device made by China’s Huawei.
“Reports that cutting-edge TSMC-manufactured chips have contributed to Huawei’s AI development represent a catastrophic failure of U.S. export control policy,” Representative John Moolenaar said in a statement. “Congress needs immediate answers from both (Commerce) and TSMC about the scope and volume of this disaster.”
