Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) is one of the best growth stocks to buy, according to billionaire Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater Associates. On June 9, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) was in the spotlight amid reports that Taiwan authorities are reportedly considering imposing tight export controls on AI chip sales to China.

AI chip restrictions on China would represent the boldest move by President Lai Ching-te’s government to safeguard Taiwan’s technology sector and national security. The restrictions are part of a broader trade negotiation with the US. In addition, the restrictions would give Taiwan the much-needed legal tools for prosecuting unauthorized AI chip exports to China.

The deliberations come amid growing concerns that advanced hardware, including AI servers, is being shipped from Taiwan to China. The Trump administration has already moved to close a loophole that Chinese entities used to gain access to advanced chips. Likewise, US legislators are urging authorities to directly address a practice by Chinese firms of ordering custom-designed chips from contract manufacturers such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) is the world’s largest contract chip manufacturer. It operates on a “pure-play foundry” model, meaning it exclusively fabricates silicon microchips designed by other tech giants rather than designing its own products.
