US approves sale of NVIDIA AI chips to Chinese companies associated with companies on the Chinese blacklist
The U.S. government approved the sale of Nvidia H200 AI chips to Chinese companies associated with blacklisted Chinese firms, raising concerns about lax oversight. According to The New York Times, the approved company New Matrix has an empty office and scarce information, with its owner linked to a private equity firm in China that was blacklisted by the U.S. in 2024. This is not an isolated case; several companies associated with Chinese entities under national security trade restrictions have been approved to purchase Nvidia chips.
