US suspects TSMC helped Huawei skirt export controls, report says
TSMC risks potentially substantial fines if the probe confirms that the company helped Huawei access US-made chips. Last year, Seagate was fined $300 million for shipping 7 million disc drives to Huawei. The chipmaker could also face "more severe penalties," The Information reported, such as restrictions blocking TSMC from accessing US tech.
