Chairman John Moolenaar urges the US Bureau of Industry and Security to clarify enforcement of the Foundry Due Diligence Rule amid loopholes allowing Chinese firms like Huawei to access advanced US AI chips through front-end fabricators like TSMC. The letter highlights regulatory ambiguity following BIS's 2025 suspension of the AI Diffusion Rule, risking US technological edge and export control effectiveness.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors, and 1 source has reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

US export controls on AI chips face a legal gap letting Chinese firms bypass due diligence. Semiconductor founders should act now to ensure compliance as regulators signal tightening enforcement that could reshape market access.
