Chinese Firms Accused of Sneaking Nvidia AI Chips Into Country Despite Restrictions

Recent reports claim that Chinese companies have managed to import Nvidia AI chips worth over one billion dollars in just three months. This is happening even though there are strict export rules that are supposed to block these sales.

Some Chinese businesses are already talking about getting future models of Nvidia AI chips called B300. This suggests that these companies are finding ways to get around the export controls and continue to access powerful technology.

The situation is raising questions about how effective export restrictions are and how determined some buyers are to obtain advanced AI hardware for their projects and businesses.
