A bipartisan pair of U.S. senators on Monday urged President Donald Trump's administration to tighten rules on chip contract manufacturers such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co to prevent them from making advanced AI chips for overseas subsidiaries of Chinese companies. This comes after the Trump administration last week moved to halt a potential loophole that may have led companies to export advanced chips such as those made by Nvidia to subsidiaries of Chinese companies located outside China. The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), the arm of the U.S. Commerce Department that oversees export control laws, has clarified that sales to Chinese company subsidiaries in third countries such as Malaysia require a license.

TSM stock rose on Thursday after the company's annual shareholders' meeting. At the meeting, Chief Executive C.C. Wei said the contract chipmaker, better known as TSMC, won't be able to fulfill demand over the next few years, even as more manufacturing capacity comes online, Bloomberg reported. "It will be a long time before we can meet customer demand," Wei said.
TSMC's CEO dismissed concerns that it’s at a disadvantage to rivals already adopting ultra-expensive equipment to make cutting-edge chips. C.C. Wei said today that the chip giant has bought high-end machines made exclusively by ASML, and that it's focused on figuring out how to run them more efficiently to lower costs.
