Chinese firm Inspur Group allegedly received $5.6 billion worth of advanced US AI technology from April 2024 to February 2026 despite being blacklisted by Washington. Its California subsidiary Aivres reportedly helped route Nvidia Blackwell-powered AI servers to China via Southeast Asia, raising fresh concerns over export-control loopholes.

New Delhi: Chinese company Inspur Group continued to supply at least $5.6 billion worth of advanced technology AI chips from the US to China from April 2024 to February 2026 despite being blacklisted by Washington over alleged "security risks," according to a report by The New York Times.

According to the report, after the US authorities put Inspur on the blacklist in 2023 over national security concerns, the Chinese company changed the name of its California operations to Aivres. The subsidiary continued operating from the same offices with the same workforce while allegedly serving the Chinese parent's global business, the investigation by the leading US daily showed.

NYT reported that the high technology exports by Aivres included more than $3 billion in AI servers built with Nvidia's latest Blackwell chips, based on trade records analysed by ImportGenius and NYT. These exports were first dispatched to Southeast Asia from where they were diverted to China.
