The Trump administration has approved roughly two dozen Chinese companies to buy or handle Nvidia’s H200 chips, and the NYT reports several have ties to blacklisted firms and suppliers to China’s military.
Two of them, New Matrix and Maginfra, operated from vacant offices and were connected to sanctioned Chinese tech companies.
It lands as the NYT reported US intelligence believes a Chinese executive who dealt with Jensen Huang was passing information to Beijing.
China called it “groundless,” and Trump stood by Huang as “very above board.”
Now Washington has to prove its chip licenses can’t be gamed by shell companies feeding Beijing’s military.
