00:00Two Chinese nationals living in California are arrested for allegedly smuggling advanced AI chips, including those made by NVIDIA to China.
00:10The United States Justice Department says Chuang Keng and Shea Weiyang export tens of millions of dollars worth of chips without licences.
00:18The exports reportedly occur between October 2022 and July 2025, violating strict U.S. controls on sensitive technology shipments to China.
00:31The accused run a company called ALX Solutions, established shortly after Washington, tightened export rules to curb Beijing's military advancement.
00:40Authorities say ALX sends over 20 shipments to freight companies in Singapore and Malaysia, commonly used as gateways for illicit transshipments.
00:50In response, NVIDIA said the case showed smuggling failed as it sold only to trusted partners and offered no support for diverted products.
