TAIPEI -- Taiwanese authorities will investigate four local companies over reports that they are assisting Huawei Technologies in establishing chipmaking infrastructure in China.

The move by Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs follows a Bloomberg report on Tuesday identifying the four companies in question. The report said it was unclear whether the collaboration violates U.S. trade sanctions imposed on Huawei.
