The United States has added Sophgo Technologies, a chip maker for artificial intelligence, to the trade blacklist. The reason is concerns that its products could end up in Huawei devices, helping to circumvent sanctions. U.S. authorities believe that Sophgo is acting under the direction of China, aiding the development of its chip industry. This decision could also affect Bitmain, which owns Sophgo. However, the largest chip maker, TSMC, claims that it fully complies with international standards.
