China blacklists major chip research firm TechInsights following report on Huawei Published Fri, Oct 10 202512:25 AM EDT Dylan Butts CNBC Key Points China’s Commerce Ministry, citing national security concerns, announced Thursday that TechInsights was designated an “unreliable entity.” This prohibits Chinese individuals or organizations from sharing information with the Canadian-based company. Beijing’s crackdown on TechInsights came after it reported that Huawei’s latest AI chips contained components sourced from outside mainland China. The findings by TechInsights about Huawei’s latest “Ascend” AI chips were consistent with those from other research firms like SemiAnalysis, which said that the Chinese company relies on technology from memory chipmakers like Samsung Electronics and contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC). These companies are under U.S. export controls, restricting them from selling their most advanced technologies to Chinese customers. Moreover, Huawei has been on a U.S. trade blacklist since 2019, barring chip makers that do business with the U.S. from working directly with it. cnbc.com
