They would have used tmsc, China hasn’t caught up to that yet.

Does TSMC and Taiwan in general do much business at all with Mainland China? I would think, especially given recent geopolitical events and the significantly more concerning saber rattling by the PRC would preclude Taiwan giving the mainland anything really meaningful in terms of tech. AFAIK these new chips are coming out of SMIC, not TSMC, and considering it’s the PRC, it’s very possible that significant portions of the architecture were just reverse engineered.

China does purchase TSMC stuff

What I’m saying is that TSMC may outright halt sales to mainland China if the PRC gets much more bellicose in its threats to “reunify” with Taiwan.
