Democrats Ask Trump Administration to Preserve Documents on Nvidia and China

In depth

Senior officials in the Democratic Party in the United States asked the Trump administration to preserve documents concerning its dealings with chipmaker Nvidia and its ties to China. Their request comes amid an affair centered on advanced Nvidia AI chips that reached Chinese entities.

Documents that reached Bloomberg show that the company Moonshot rented servers with Nvidia B300 chips, and that the servers are located in China. It was also revealed that an Nvidia representative intervened in a U.S. investigation into the sale of the company's equipment to Chinese entities through Megaspeed.

$64.8 million worth of advanced Nvidia chips were found in China, according to new documents revealing a suspicious supply chain. The unusual prices raise suspicion of black-market activity, and after reporters made inquiries, details disappeared from the official documents.
