Blacklisted Inspur subsidiary kept buying Nvidia AI chips
A subsidiary of blacklisted Chinese technology company Inspur continued shipping Nvidia’s leading artificial-intelligence chips to major Chinese AI companies, according to The New York Times. Washington had sanctioned Inspur over its work with China’s military. The available RSS material does not identify the subsidiary, customers, chip volumes or the mechanism used to maintain supplies.
Why it matters
The shipments test whether US technology sanctions can restrict advanced AI hardware through corporate subsidiaries.
