Nvidia chips reach China via Megaspeed amid export curbs
· Technology · Indian Express, New York Times
Nvidia's advanced GPUs are being diverted to China despite US export restrictions, with companies like Megaspeed allegedly facilitating the flow. The controversy intensified after CEO Jensen Huang resigned following allegations of extramarital affairs, including one with Alice Huang, founder of Megaspeed, who is accused of being a Chinese spy. US export curbs were tightened under Trump in his first term, then broadened by the Biden administration, and Trump's return to the White House has seen the rescission of some restrictions. The diversion of Nvidia chips to China remains a critical challenge for US technology policy and national security interests.
