Military-linked Chinese university bought Nvidia H200 chips despite US blacklist, Reuters reports

Northwestern Polytechnical University bought two H200 chips through a Chinese supplier and rented access to other Nvidia processors, Reuters reports, citing procurement records. The military-linked institution remains subject to US export restrictions despite Washington allowing some H200 sales to China. Reuters said the records offered scant information about the chips’ origins or rented servers’ locations; Nvidia, the university and US export-control officials did not respond to requests for comment.
