Taiwan Probes Nvidia AI Chip Smuggling to China via Japan, Seizes 50 Servers
Taiwanese prosecutors suspect Nvidia AI chips were smuggled to China through Japan, with at least one earlier shipment of Super Micro servers containing restricted Nvidia chips clearing Taiwan customs before going to Japan and later reaching Hong Kong. Authorities last week detained three people accused of falsifying export documents and seized about 50 servers.
No wrongdoing has been alleged against Nvidia or Super Micro. The investigation centers on whether Japan was used as an intermediary stop for shipments of restricted AI hardware before they later reached Hong Kong.
