TSMC Seeks Permanent US Approval As Geopolitical Tensions Rise, Aims to Secure Chip Supplies
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) is seeking permanent approval to ship U.S. chip equipment to its facility in Nanjing amid rising U.S.-China geopolitical tensions. The company, which supplies Nvidia Corp and Apple Inc, won a one-year license in 2022 to continue receiving U.S. equipment support for its chip facility. The U.S. has restricted China's access to American semiconductor technology, citing national security concerns, and looks to tighten its semiconductor sanctions against China further.
