An investigation by The Information alleges that Megaspeed executive Alice Huang helped move 240,000 banned Nvidia chips into China, mostly H100 and H200 systems, Tom's Hardware reported. The investigation links a network of companies through corporate records and people familiar with their operations. Shanghai Century Litong gained Nvidia Preferred Cloud Partner status in October 2023, giving it priority access to scarce chips. Separately, U.S. export-control inspectors found Nvidia hardware still boxed at Speedmatrix data centers, prompting a deeper investigation. The Chinese embassy denies links to Alice Huang.
