“We’ve not been exporting AI processors (nVidia) to China.”
Yes we are, a whole Truck load went to China just the other day. No way that was not an internal setup blamed as “theft”.
Exactly...it did, which is why it made news, because it shouldn’t have. If this is an ITAR violation then nVidia is going to be in serious trouble. It’s exactly why China would be motivated to steal them, it is illegal to supply them...which is my point and is 100%. This would be a 3rd party sale, nVidia wouldn’t be that stupid - they may still have to face consequences though.
Have you ever been involved in a tech company that has to comply with ITAR? I have. It’s no joke, national security types of consequences. There are several countries you must not export to. The claim that we ‘just sell to whoever’ is 100% wrong.
