Techub News reports that, according to Reuters citing informed sources, the Biden administration plans to include the AI company Sophgo, associated with Bitmain, on the U.S. Department of Commerce's restricted trade list because the chips manufactured by TSMC for the company were illegally incorporated into Huawei's artificial intelligence processors.

Techub News previously reported that, according to Cointelegraph, the chip company Sophgo, associated with Bitmain, denied any business relationship with Huawei. Sophgo stated that the U.S. investigation into TSMC and Huawei is unrelated to Sophgo and its products, and it has never had direct or indirect business dealings with Huawei.
