🇺🇸🇨🇳⚡️- A contractor linked to American server manufacturer Super Micro Computer has pleaded guilty to participating in a scheme to illegally export advanced Nvidia AI servers to China, circumventing US national security restrictions.

Federal prosecutors allege the broader operation involved approximately $2.5 billion in restricted American AI technology, including servers containing Nvidia's H100, H200 and B200 processors.

The contractor, Ting-Wei Sun, also helped stage dummy servers to deceive American inspectors, according to the indictment. The case highlights the continuing effort to circumvent US export controls on advanced computing technology, which Washington considers critical to maintaining its technological and military advantages over China.
