Blacklisted Chinese Firm Uses US Subsidiary to Access Advanced AI Chips via Export Loopholes
Chinese tech company Inspur Group, blacklisted by the US in 2023 over security concerns, has continued accessing advanced American AI chips through its rebranded Silicon Valley subsidiary, Aivres. This subsidiary has exploited export law loopholes to ship high-value AI servers and technology to Southeast Asia, which were then diverted to China. US officials are investigating these activities, including shipments to regional data centers and Chinese firms linked to high-performance computing, amid concerns over circumventing export restrictions.
