-Two Chinese nationals were arrested in California and accused of illegally transporting tens of millions of dollars of AI chips to China, including the NVIDIA H100S, the US Ministry of Justice said on Tuesday.
Chuan Geg, 28, from Pasaden, and Shiwei Yang, 28, from El Monte, exported advanced NVIDIA chips and other technology to China from October 2022 to July 2025, without obtaining the required licenses from the US Sales Department, he says a criminal complaint.
According to the complaint, the company based in El Monte, based in Geng and Yang, Alx Solutions Inc was founded in 2022, shortly after the US imposed extensive export checks for technology in China and began to require chips licenses.
NVIDIA spokesman rejected the comment.
More than 20 shipments from the Alx Solutions went to handover and handover companies in Singapore and Malaysia, which are often used as points for illegal goods to China.
Alx received $ 1 million from the Chinese company in January 2024 and other payments from Hong Kong and China, not from handover companies.
The NVIDIA H100S are advanced chips that can be used to train large language models and for other applications such as the development of cars and medical diagnostic systems.
Records show that from at least August 2023 to July 2024, Alx Solutions bought over 200 NVIDIA H100 chips from San Jose, Californo server Maker Super Micro Computer and said that the end users were in Singapore and Japan.
Super Micro did not respond immediately to the request for comment.
In addition to the H100 NVIDIA, a few are charged with illegal transport of NVIDIA graphics cards known as PNY GE Force RTX 4090, which also require a license to export to China.
According to the Ministry of Justice, Geng and Yang appeared at the US District Court in Los Angeles. Geng, a permanent resident, was released on bonds of $ 250,000. Yang, which exceeded her visa, has a 12th August retention hearing.
