TSMC had denied this through Chinese media.

Might need to wait for sometime to see exactly what its position in all these.

My bet it will eventually comply but leave some vagueness here and there. After all, hurting TSMC is hurting the world.

The timing of this with the mixed messages makes me think that Washington tried to dupe TSMC/Taiwan.

Washington waited until the new fab deal was done before putting TSMC into crossfire. If that's the case, it probably backfires and the US must make hard choices.
