China’s Chip Sidestep: Evading Nvidia Sanctions with Reseller Savvy

Facing chip sanctions faster than a dodgeball champ, China plays tech-keepie-uppie by snagging servers from Super Micro to Dell. US rules say “No Nvidia for you!” but Chinese universities wink, “What sanctions?” as they pass notes (and chips) under the global trade table. Chip chase, anyone?

Hot Take:

Oh, the age-old tale of "I didn't know I couldn't do that" strikes again in the world of international chip drama. China, the crafty kid in class, has apparently been playing 'hot potato' with Nvidia chips like they're collector's items in a black market Pokémon trade. Meanwhile, Nvidia, along with Super Micro and Dell, are like confused parents, claiming they told the resellers about the no-no list but somehow the message got lost in translation. Let the game of corporate "not it" commence!
