Reply to comment by [deleted] in Chinese Nuclear Lab Uses Intel, Nvidia Chips Despite Ban | Blacklisted Chinese entities obtain American hardware on the open market. by chrisdh79

Just because some chips get through doesnt mean the ban is doing nothing. I dont think China will be able to easily outfit many huge data centers with tens of thousands of latest Nvidia chips to enable AI surveillance of its population, for instance.

There are party members in various countries that the CCP has financial interest in, they could easily "crowd source" through those people. 10 high end graphics cards will just look like someone setting up a crypto mining setup.

Easily... especially now since GPU mining is dead after the Ethereum merge. They can just get it from former miners for pennies on the *ahem* yuan.
