Foreign media: The US revoked the exemption for TSMC to freely ship goods to its mainland China factories, causing TSMC's stock price to drop by about 2%.
The US had previously taken similar measures against Samsung, SK Hynix, and Intel. TSMC's Nanjing factory will lose its valid end-user (VEU) status on December 31, meaning that its suppliers will need to apply for a license for each shipment when transporting manufacturing equipment, spare parts, or chemicals to the Chinese factory.
TSMC said it is assessing the situation and taking appropriate measures, including communicating with the US government.
