A Blacklisted Chinese Firm Shipped $3B in Nvidia Blackwell Servers to China Through Its Silicon Valley Subsidiary
The New York Times reported on September 6 that Inspur Group, blacklisted by the US in 2023, kept buying America's newest AI chips by renaming its California operation to Aivres while keeping the same offices and staff. Trade records analyzed with ImportGenius show $5.6 billion in high-technology exports from April 2024 to February 2026, including more than $3 billion in AI servers built on Nvidia's latest Blackwell chips. Federal officials have opened an inquiry into the subsidiary, but its status is unclear — and the loopholes exploited are in export law, not in enforcement.
