Super Micro Co-Founder Accused of Illegally Exporting AI Servers With Nvidia Chips to China The U.S. Department of Justice has charged Yih-Shyan 'Wally' Liaw, co-founder of Super Micro Computer, along with Ruei-Tsang 'Steven' Chang and Ting-Wei 'Willy' Sun, for illegally exporting servers containing Nvidia’s advanced AI chips to China. The indictment alleges that the men smuggled approximately $2.5 billion worth of high-performance servers in violation of U.S. export control laws. According to prosecutors, the defendants used a pass-through company based in Southeast Asia to disguise the final destination of the products. They allegedly falsified documents, repackaged servers into unmarked boxes, and used 'dummy' nonfunctional servers to deceive auditors checking for compliance. Surveillance footage reportedly showed individuals altering product labels and serial numbers to conceal the shipments' true nature. Liaw was arrested in California and released on bail, Sun remains detained pending a hearing, while Chang, based in Taiwan, is still at large. The DOJ maintains that these actions were designed to bypass U.S. export restrictions on high-end computing equipment amid ongoing tensions with China over access to advanced chips used in artificial intelligence. In response, Super Micro issued a statement stressing that the alleged conduct contravened company policies and that it is fully cooperating with the authorities. Despite this, Super Micro’s stock value dropped roughly 30% following the indictment’s announcement.

DOJ charges two in California over illegal exports of Nvidia AI chips to China The U.S. Department of Justice has charged two Chinese nationals with illegally exporting tens of millions of dollars' worth of advanced AI chips, including Nvidia's H100 processors, to China between October 2022 and July 2025. * via a company called ALX Solutions out of California, founded shortly after U.S. export controls on high-end semiconductors took effect * the firm allegedly circumvented U.S. restrictions by funneling shipments through Singapore and Malaysia, common transshipment hubs, before final delivery to China. The chips in question include Nvidia’s H100 GPUs, which are tightly restricted under U.S. export rules due to their role in powering artificial intelligence systems. The case comes amid rising concerns in Washington about unauthorized AI chip flows into China, with recent reports estimating that over $1 billion worth of restricted chips may have entered China despite tightened controls.

Intel will need license to export AI chips to Chinese clients, FT reports (Reuters) - American chipmaker Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) has informed Chinese clients it will start needing a license to sell some of its advanced artificial intelligence processors, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday. The news comes a day after Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) warned of a $5.5 billion hit as Washington restricted exports of its AI processor tailored for China. Dutch chip-making tools giant ASML (AS:ASML) also raised doubts about its outlook earlier in the day. Intel, under new CEO Lip-Bu Tan, told clients last week that its chips would require a license for exporting to China if they have a total DRam bandwidth of 1,400 gigabytes (GB) per second or more, input-output (I/O) bandwidth of 1,100 GB per second or more, or a total of both of 1,700 GB per second or more, according to the report. Intel’s Gaudi series as well as Nvidia’s H20 far exceed these requirements, the report said. The chipmaker did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Intel’s shares closed more than 3% lower on Wednesday, under pressure like other chip stocks, on fresh evidence of how U.S. President Donald Trump’s shifting trade policy was complicating the outlook for semiconductor and computing giants. The AI chip trade is losing steam after a two-year rally as tariff threats and fears over Big Tech’s spending weigh on sentiment.
