TSMC suspended shipments to China firm after chip found on Huawei processor, sources say
(www.reuters.com)
Countries willing to pass on a US patent to China stop getting the chips (or, in this case, chip-making jobs, realistically, but that still hurts)
Also Taiwan doesn't wanna help China and even if a US sanction was just an excuse to hurt China and get away with it they'd probably do it.
Edit: in this case, this chip is "foreign-produced items [...] that are the direct product of U.S. technology or software", according to the article. I feel it was implied but clarity is always good. US technology, used with permission in a Taiwanese good, and that permission could be retracted.
US law permits US control over any company in the world that uses US technology.
