From: [ A TSMC Spokesperson ]

Hi John,

Good speaking with you this evening.  Here is our statement.

 "Regarding this issue, our policy is not to comment on market rumors.
  However, I want to inform you that our 28 nm production is normal,
  and all our 28 nm customers are fully aware of our production status."

Just make the attribution from a TSMC spokesperson, please.
