The Information alleged in a Nov. 12, 2026, post that Litong Inc, a group of companies connected to Alice Huang, has imported 240,000 Nvidia chips worth at least $7.5 billion into China since 2023 despite U.S. export controls. The shipments and valuation have not been independently verified for this account. Source
On Nov. 10, the outlet identified Huang as a former Megaspeed executive and said she helped move “about 240,000 banned Nvidia chips” into China, mostly H100 and H200 systems. Source
The Information also said some chips reached data centers serving Alibaba and Tencent through Century Litong, which it described as an Nvidia preferred cloud partner with ties to Huang’s family. The available posts do not establish the precise corporate relationship between Century Litong and Litong Inc. Source Source
In another Nov. 12 post, The Information said a Chinese company tied to Huang’s family disclosed it had become an Nvidia preferred cloud partner two weeks after Washington banned the A800 and H800. That post did not name the company or give calendar dates for either event. Source
“Preferred cloud partner” is awkward branding alongside allegations of banned Nvidia chip shipments. But that designation alone does not establish that Nvidia knew about prohibited shipments. Nor does the reported data-center connection establish that Alibaba or Tencent imported the chips, knew their provenance or violated export controls. Source Source
