summary: "The U.S. government granted export licenses for the Nvidia H200 processor to approximately 24 companies in China to assemble the chips into artificial intelligence systems. A New York Times investigation found that some authorized firms, such as New Matrix and Maginfra, appear to be shell companies with empty offices. This reporting follows a request from Republican chairs of three House committees for a Nov 18 briefing with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang regarding his connections to an alleged Chinese intelligence asset."
