China bans research firm that exposed Huawei’s ‘chip secret’, expands its list of banned technology companies

China has blacklisted Canadian research firm TechInsights, banning it from doing business within the country. This move is reportedly a response to TechInsights’ role in exposing the supply chain and technology behind Huawei’s advanced AI chips. The firm’s detailed breakdowns have previously revealed undisclosed suppliers and components in Chinese hardware, challenging national tech claims.
