Massive data centers in Southeast Asia exploited a gap in U.S. sanctions, providing crucial computing power for Chinese companies and a cover for alleged chip smuggling
SENAWANG, Malaysia—An hour outside of the Malaysian capital, Bangladeshi workers this past week were driving dump trucks and excavators at a site stretching across 117 football fields.
It was a world away from the Silicon Valley boardroom where, hours later, Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang would be ousted. Yet this site in Southeast Asia and others like it are at the heart of the Huang affair.
Here, a Chinese company plans to use Nvidia’s advanced artificial-intelligence chips. Thanks to Chinese customers, data-center industry leaders say Malaysia could become the second-largest data center hub in the world, after Virginia, packed with top-of-the-line Nvidia chips China’s leading AI companies can use to challenge American dominance.
Huang built a multibillion-dollar business to feed the ravenous appetite of Chinese customers for American chips, cultivating a network of Asian partners who could serve the Chinese far from Washington. He made a friend of President Trump and lobbied Washington hard to keep the backdoor to China open.
China jumped to take advantage of the avenues Trump didn’t close. Its AI developers exploited the Nvidia chips they desperately needed to catch up with America’s leaders, either using smuggled chips or accessing them remotely in places like Malaysia.
Revelations about Huang’s affair with an executive at one of those Asian partners—a possible Chinese intelligence asset—didn’t just blow up his career. They now threaten to implode the entire lucrative ecosystem he built in Asia to get China the chips it needed.

Why is China so interested in money. I thought communists despised wealth. I’m starting to get the feeling that Communists love money more than Cawpitalists. 🙄
He kissed a lot of Chinese “backdoors” just like Hunter Biden kissed others to exchange favors on a cordial basis.💋
TRUMP: “We had a situation where somebody was reported to us to be doing something bad with AI. We called them very strongly and said, get ready to go to jail. Please give your wife a kiss goodnight.”
Interviewer: “Who was this person?”
TRUMP: “I can’t tell you.”
Interviewer: “Or this company?”
TRUMP: “I can’t tell you. But we said, do you like the color orange? Because get rid. It said, go home right now. See your wife and children. Give them a kiss. Good night. And that’s the story.”
Interviewer: “If the Democrats wanted...”
TRUMP: “Because tomorrow morning you’re going to jail.”
Interviewer: “If they wanted to make a deal to put that to...”
TRUMP: “Let me tell you, this person totally changed everything. Totally. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.”
Interviewer: “Was it a leader of a major AI company?”
TRUMP: “One of the big ones, yeah.”
Interviewer: “Okay.”
TRUMP: “One of the big ones.”
Damn you autocorrect.
I’m more inclined to believe Jensen with this WSJ establishment hit.
