Reports reveal that a Chinese firm called New Matrix was cleared by the US Commerce Department to receive Nvidia H200 AI chips despite having no real office—its listed address is an empty, unfinished building.

The US has imposed strict export controls on advanced AI chips to China to slow its military and AI development, but enforcement loopholes have been a recurring concern.
