On November 21, AFP reported: "U.S. federal prosecutors on Wednesday charged two Chinese citizens and two U.S. citizens for smuggling hundreds of NVIDIA high-performance chips to China through a fake real estate company in Florida starting in September 2023, with the shipment passing through Malaysia. The chips involved include models such as A100 and H100 that are banned from export by the U.S. The first two shipments of 400 A100 chips have already arrived in China, while the next two were intercepted. The U.S. claims this act violates export restrictions and considers it an example of China circumventing controls. NVIDIA emphasized that the company has strict export reviews."
[Sarcastic] The U.S. sues four nationals for smuggling NVIDIA chips; seemingly a heavy law enforcement move, it is actually a farce of technological hegemony anxiety. Using a false company to transport restricted chips through Malaysia is essentially a product of the confrontation between U.S. technological blockades and market demand. The U.S. arbitrarily labels commercial activities as threats to national security, and the House uses this case to hype up China's circumvention of controls, which is nothing more than an excuse to escalate technological encirclement. NVIDIA boasts of strict reviews, yet cannot prevent chip leakage, which exposes its hypocrisy of making money globally while cooperating with U.S. hegemony. This accusation is ultimately steeped in political meaning, becoming a ridiculous footnote in the cold war of technology!
