Original: CA tech executive arrested for allegedly smuggling $300M in Nvidia chips to CN

A California technology executive, identified in reports as Greg Lui of Earthmade, has been arrested on allegations of smuggling roughly $300 million worth of Nvidia AI chips to China. The case highlights ongoing US export controls restricting advanced semiconductors from reaching Chinese buyers, and the underground networks allegedly circumventing them.

Why now: US-China tech restrictions and Nvidia chip export controls remain a hot topic, making alleged large-scale evasion newsworthy.
