Senator Warner criticizes Biden administration over TSMC chip found in Huawei product

Democratic Senator Mark Warner criticized the Biden administration for insufficient monitoring of TSMC after a chip from the Taiwanese company was found in a Huawei product. Warner's letter to President Biden highlighted concerns over U.S. export rule enforcement. Warner, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, expressed that TSMC's actions pose risks to U.S. national security. He urged the administration to strengthen existing controls on chip exports to China, amid bipartisan worries about technological advancements in Beijing. The Commerce Department defended its record on China, citing strict measures and numerous trade restrictions. However, lawmakers, including Republican John Moolenaar, labeled the incident a significant failure of U.S. export policy regarding Huawei.
