US approves Nvidia chip purchase by Chinese firm tied to restricted entities
What happened
The Trump administration eased limits on Nvidia chip sales to China after Nvidia agreed to give the US government 15% of all sales. On Nov 7, The Verge cited a New York Times investigation reporting that Washington approved Chinese company New Matrix to buy Nvidia H200 AI chips. The investigation found the 17-month-old company's registered office sits empty and the landlord has no record of it. Its owner is linked to a Chinese private equity firm blacklisted by the US since 2024. Other firms tied to trade-restricted entities were also cleared to buy chips, the investigation found.

美国政府批准 New Matrix 购买 Nvidia H200 AI 芯片，但《纽约时报》调查发现其注册地址办公室空置，业主方也没有该公司的记录。该公司成立于17个月前，所有者与一家自2024年起被美国列入黑名单的中国私募股权公司有关联，调查还发现其他关联受贸易限制实体的企业获准购买芯片。特朗普政府此前放宽对华销售限制，条件是 Nvidia 同意将全部销售额的15%交给美国政府。
