MediaTek has denied the reports that it'll be indirectly supplying TSMC chips to Huawei. The Taiwanese chipmaker said it will follow all relevant global trade laws and regulations and will not be involved in any unethical business means.

For the uninitiated, a Japanese news agency recently claimed that MediaTek will be supplying Huawei with TSMC chips indirectly. The report explicitly mentioned that the chipmaker would buy chips from TSMC, label them as its own, and sell them to Huawei. The company has now come out and denied the allegations.

A MediaTek spokesperson has clarified that the company will not make any such arrangements for Huawei, or for that matter, for any other customer.

It is reportedly mulling legal action against the Japanese news agency for making false claims and affecting the company's credibility. It has asked the concerned agency to retract the report.
