US lawmaker urges investigation into China’s chipmaker SMIC over alleged Huawei ties

Quick Summary:

Republican Michael McCaul calls on the US Commerce Department to check whether SMIC is illegally producing chips for Huawei.

McCaul said SMIC’s breakthroughs – including its advanced chip in a Huawei smartphone, and expected production of over a million artificial intelligence (AI) processors for Huawei – are a “smoking gun” for a violation and could help China surpass the US in AI.

If China is not willing to immediately agree to a “comprehensive audit of all SMIC facilities and its books”, McCaul said, “BIS should pause all existing licences for SMIC.
