3 Chinese nationals charged with smuggling Nvidia, HP chips to China

Four individuals allegedly smuggled hundreds of Nvidia AI GPUs and HP supercomputers worth nearly $4 million to China via front companies and falsified documents, U.S. prosecutors said.

  • On Nov. 13, the U.S. Department of Justice unsealed charges accusing three Chinese nationals of smuggling Nvidia and HP products to China, according to the indictment.
  • With export controls in place, prosecutors say the shipments posed national-security risks as the U.S. Commerce Department bans China from acquiring advanced AI and supercomputing chips linked to PRC military modernization.
  • The indictment alleges the scheme used a shell company and falsified documents to hide shipments of Nvidia A100 and H200 GPUs and Hewlett Packard Enterprise products with Nvidia H100 GPUs to China.
  • Hon Ning Ho, Jing Chen and Cham Li were arrested recently; Ho faces nine money laundering counts tied to $4 million, and Raymond faces seven related to more than $3.4 million, court documents show.
  • The startup Corvex and merger partner Movano Health featured in the public ID of a defendant, and Corvex told CNBC it had no part in the indictment and rescinded Brian Curtis Raymond's offer.
