Despite US export controls prohibiting direct shipments of advanced Nvidia H200 chips to China, Northwestern Polytechnical University, linked to China's defence sector, purchased these chips via a third party, highlighting ongoing circumvention of US curbs amid geopolitical tensions over AI technology.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML, and 9 sources have reported it between 7 Nov 2026 and 12 Nov 2026.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
The US chip restrictions are being bypassed through indirect sales, which means you in AI or hardware supply need to watch for tighter enforcement and risks of technology diversion. Your ability to supply or access advanced AI chips in China now faces legal and reputational hazards.
