TAIPEI/TOKYO/NEW YORK -- Huawei Technologies is asking its top Asian chipmakers to maintain deliveries after Washington announced draconian measures to curb the Chinese telecommunications giant's access to American technology, sources familiar with the matter said.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the most important chip producer for Huawei's mobile and networking core processors, said it will maintain supplies for the time being even though it continues to assess the impact of Washington's decision this week to bar Huawei from receiving U.S. technologies.
