Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company suspended shipments to China-based chip designer Sophgo after a chip it made was found on a Huawei AI processor, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Sophgo had ordered chips from TSMC that matched the one found on Huawei’s Ascend 910B, the people said. Huawei is restricted from buying the technology to protect U.S. national security. Reuters could not determine how the chip ended up on the Huawei product.

Tech research firm TechInsights discovered the TSMC chip on Huawei’s Ascend 910B when it took apart the multi-chip processor, a different source told Reuters on Tuesday. Alerted to the finding, about two weeks ago TSMC notified the U.S., the source said.

    Huawei stated no such thing. Huawei is also not “China” no matter how much US corporations want to make you believe it is so you can continue to buy NSA backed doored US designed products.

      The CCP definitely have more say in Chinese tech than the US Government has over US tech. In China, the government controls industry, in the US industry controls government. That said, both are likely backdoored.

        You posted three articles of of China using the US’s existing backdoors. This is why Intel was banned in China.

        To your loaded question, because we do audits on hardware (no backdoor) and software (sometimes a backdoor, don’t use wechat).

        We know the CCP isn’t going to backdoor hardware, and it’s really simple why not. Backdoors go both ways. Only the most ridiculously stupidly arrogant country would put in a backdoor assuming they’re the only ones that will ever be able to use it.

        Lemmy.world’s rules do prevent one from name calling or general as hominem, but since you decided to; Do you have anything to actually add to the discussion or are you so bigoted that anyone speaking positively about a Chinese person overrides any self preservation instinct and you just need to announce to the world that you’re a bigot and leave it at that?

          Bigot, says who denies Xinjiang genocide. There’s nothing to add to the discussion when you are clearly not capable of having one lol. Blocked.

                    Criticizing a person because you believe theyre a sneaky Chinese spy or bot is, given the history of Chinese stereotypes you people yourselves made.

                    That’s not any of the accounts I’ve made, but if you’re getting called out for being racist that often maybe stop being racist. Seems like a chronic problem a lot of westerners and ameriboos have.
