Chinese Tech Giant Bypasses US AI Chip Blacklist Via Global Subsidiaries

High-end US semiconductors continue to flow into China through a coordinated network of foreign companies to fuel artificial intelligence research. This operation allows a blacklisted Chinese tech giant to reinvent its supply chain and maintain shipments of hardware that the US government has restricted to prevent advanced AI development.

Washington has repeatedly added the firm to its blacklist to curb the transfer of sensitive technology to China. The reported use of global subsidiaries indicates a persistent workaround to federal export controls designed to block hardware access for designated entities.
