Nvidia reports halted China chip sales amid US spy probe
Nvidia said its sales of the H200 AI chip to China fell below the U. S. -approved limit and the company now expects no data-center revenue from the Chinese market, as U. S. officials warned that a black-market trade in its chips continues. The statement follows earlier developments in which U. S.
investigators began examining Alice Huang, a senior executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, for possible involvement in moving restricted Nvidia chips to China and gathering commercial information for Beijing. U. S. agencies have also alleged that a Chinese intelligence asset cultivated a relationship with Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, prompting concerns about access to AI technology. Nvidia’s chief executive Jensen Huang later said the company's interactions with Megaspeed were routine and that the firm did not illegally ship AI GPUs to China, and the company denied a New York Times report that U. S. intelligence had surveilled a person close to the CEO.
