Briefings

Investigations confirm Chinese entities are accessing Nvidia AI H200 chips despite US export controls. This occurred in late 2025, with evidence showing access through specific university channels. The incident highlights a gap between export restrictions and actual chip availability for research.

Key points

• Chinese entities successfully accessed Nvidia AI H200 chips in late 2025, bypassing US export control measures.
• Access was facilitated through specific university channels, indicating a targeted pathway for chip distribution.

Context

US export controls restrict AI chip sales to China, yet investigations show Chinese universities are still obtaining these chips for research purposes.

Limitations

Evidence is limited to a single investigation from late 2025. Specific dates of access are not fully confirmed, and the exact number of chips distributed remains unknown.
