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.
B-b-but China said all their chips are self made and that sanctions only accelerate their technological progress. You mean they got caught lying through their teeth again?

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.

9-hour-old account hither and thither shilling the CCP
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.
im still waiting for any proof at all on this one
And reported. Multiple times for your many outright racist comments against Asians in general.
Thank you. I’m Asian myself so 😅

Try to make an educated guess…
Reuters so not do that
Duct tape?
Taiwan-based firm stops shipments to China-based firm due to US-says-so? Maybe Taiwan should join BRICS.
Taiwan-based firm stops shipments to China-based firm due to US-says-so?
Because the only one impeding China to genocide Taiwan is the US
genocineliberation! 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳

When I read “processor” in this context, I’m usually thinking of a discrete component. Wat?
I could understand being surprised to find a certain processor in a chip, but how y’all fitting chips in processors? I’m guessing that this is just another tech “journalism” failure.
