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.
