Two Chinese men are in custody for allegedly smuggling Nvidia H100 and H200 chips to China, the US Justice department said on Monday, as President Donald J. Trump gave the green light for Nvidia to export its H200 chips to Beijing.

Prosecutors allege that Fanyue Gong, 43, a Chinese citizen living in New York, and Benlin Yuan, 58, a Canadian citizen from China, independently conspired with employees of a Hong Kong-based logistics company and a China-based artificial intelligence (AI) technology company to circumvent US export controls, according to the Department of Justice (DoJ).
In court documents, prosecutors said Mr. Gong and his co-conspirators obtained the Nvidia chips through straw purchasers and intermediaries, and falsely claimed that the goods were for US customers or customers in third countries like Taiwan and Thailand.
