旧金山6月8日电(路透社)——两党参议员周一敦促唐纳德·特朗普政府收紧对台积电等合同芯片制造商的监管规定,防止它们为中国企业的海外子公司制造先进人工智能芯片。

此事发生在特朗普政府上周试图堵上一个潜在漏洞之后,该漏洞可能导致企业向位于中国境外的中国企业子公司出口英伟达等公司生产的先进芯片。这一潜在漏洞于去年出现,当时特朗普政府宣布不会执行上届拜登政府出台的有关美国芯片全球供应的监管规定。

美国商务部负责出口管制法规的部门——工业与安全局(BIS)已明确表示,向马来西亚等第三国的中国企业子公司销售产品需要申请许可证。

但前国务院官员克里斯·麦奎尔等专家上周表示,该指导方针仍未解决另一个潜在漏洞:中国企业的空壳公司可能会委托台积电等合同芯片制造商定制芯片。

周一,印第安纳州共和党参议员吉姆·班克斯与新泽西州民主党参议员安迪·金致信工业与安全局局长杰弗里·凯斯勒,要求该局直接解决中国企业子公司订购定制芯片的问题。

“如果这一监管空白得不到填补,将大幅削弱美国针对中国获取先进计算能力的所有其他限制措施,”议员们写道,“如果出口管制可以通过向全球最先进晶圆厂下达制造订单来规避,那将无法为美国国家安全或美国工业的竞争力提供任何有意义的保护。”

工业与安全局和台积电未立即回应置评请求。

US lawmakers urge tighter rules on contract chipmakers supplying Chinese firms’ overseas units

SAN FRANCISCO, June 8 (Reuters) – 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. That potential loophole arose last ⁠year when the Trump administration announced it would not enforce rules put ​in place by the previous Biden administration governing global access to U.S. chips.

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.

But experts such as former State Department official ​Chris McGuire said last week that the guidance still did not address another potential loophole, ‌under ⁠which front companies for Chinese firms could order custom chips to be made by chip contract manufacturers such as TSMC.

On Monday, Sen. Jim Banks, an Indiana Republican, and Sen. Andy Kim, a New Jersey Democrat, sent a ​letter to BIS chief ​Jeffrey Kessler asking ⁠the BIS to directly address the issue of subsidiaries of Chinese firms ordering custom chips.

“Should this gap remain unaddressed, ​it would substantially undermine every other restriction the United ​States has ⁠imposed on the (China’s) access to advanced computing capability,” the senators wrote. “Export controls that can be circumvented through fabrication orders placed at the world’s most advanced foundry ⁠offer ​no meaningful protection to American national security or ​to the competitiveness of United States industry.”

The BIS and TSMC did not immediately respond to a ​request for comment.
