A TSMC statement sent to the Post on Tuesday said the Taipei-based manufacturing giant “is a law-abiding company and we are committed to complying with all applicable rules and regulations, including applicable export controls”.

The firm maintained “a robust and comprehensive export system for monitoring and ensuring compliance”, it added.

“If we have any reason to believe there are potential issues, we will take prompt action to ensure compliance, including conducting investigations and proactively communicating with relevant parties including customers and regulatory authorities as necessary,” the statement continued.

Silicon Valley-based tech publication The Information last week reported that the US Commerce Department was looking into whether TSMC had manufactured artificial intelligence or smartphone chips for Huawei, a mainland telecoms equipment maker.
