600,000 Nvidia H200 chips stranded in Hong Kong, Beijing pressures Chinese tech companies to buy domestic

Factcheck:

The 600,000 H200s in Hong Kong claim matches a Nov 5 Reuters exclusive citing sources familiar with the matter. Trump admin approved limited exports of the chips to approved Chinese buyers; Beijing is withholding large-scale import clearances to limit US tech reliance and favor domestic chips. Small batches (~10k each to some majors) have entered.

Alice Huang faces US intel allegations of acting as a Chinese asset who helped move large chip volumes via networks while close to Jensen Huang. Investigations continue; China denies the spy claims.
