The United States now wants to prevent TSMC from making the Kirin for Huawei

A few days ago we learned that The United States was spying on governments around the world through the CIA. For decades using machines Crypto AG, they had access to the messages of all governments, No problem. Trump He has not spoken about this, but about the alleged espionage of Huawei, has not yet shut up. The last one is that wants to stop TSMC from continuing to manufacture the Kirin.

For those who do not know, Huawei has a subsidiary that is dedicated to manufacturingcar semiconductors, such as HiSilicon. This subsidiary has developed the Kirin SoCs, intended for Huawei terminals and all manufacturers who want these SoCs. Such SoCs, like many other chips, are manufactured by TSMC, the Taiwanese foundry known for making the AMD Ryzen.

No products found.

The United States continues its witch hunt against Huawei

Achieving this is not easy, since the foundry is not in China, first and second, factory for US companies such as AMD or NVIDIA. For this blockade, a change has been proposed in the Rule of Direct Products Abroad of the US Department of Commerce.

This change will cause any company that uses US technology to apply for a license to sell to Huawei. The catch here is that most of the processor patents are owned by US companies. If such a rule is created, it will be extremely difficult for Chinese companies to access American technology.

While Trump is an idiot, which is undeniable, there are smart heads within the administration warning of a problem. This would really cost the United States more than China or Huawei. What would be achieved in the medium or long term would cause the innovation to move from the United States to China. Logically, in the face of this attack, China will not sit back and the trade war could flare up again.
