🇺🇸🇨🇳 $1B IN NVIDIA AI CHIPS SMUGGLED INTO CHINA DESPITE US BAN

Even after the US blocked sales, banned Nvidia B200 chips still found their way into China’s AI labs.

They popped up on a black market and were sold by Chinese distributors from multiple provinces.

Nvidia says using smuggled chips is a tech support nightmare, but demand is sky-high anyway.

Now the US may tighten export rules even more, including in places like Thailand.
