The
Trump administration in August expanded its curbs on Huawei and
banned suppliers from selling chips made using U.S. technology
to the Chinese firm without a special licence.
MediaTek, which analysts said could be among the worst affected
following the latest curbs, said it will follow related global
trade regulations and has applied for the permission to ship to
Huawei after Sept. 15.
"MediaTek reiterates its respect for following relevant orders
and rules on global trade, and has already applied for
permission with the U.S. side in accordance with the rules," it
said in a brief statement, without elaborating.
Huawei declined to comment.
The U.S. move this month closes potential loopholes in its
earlier May sanctions that could have let Huawei buy chips using
U.S. techonolgy via third parties.
The curbs underscore the growing rift in Sino-U.S. ties as
Washington presses governments to squeeze Huawei out, alleging
the company would hand over data to Beijing for spying. Huawei
denies it spies for China.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (TSMC) <2330.TW>, <TSM.N>,
the world's largest contract chipmaker, said last month it had
stopped taking new orders from the Chinese telecommunications
and smartphone giant in May and does not plan to ship wafers
after Sept. 15.
