Chinese AI companies are reportedly **accessing restricted NVIDIA computing power through overseas data centers**, particularly in **Thailand and Malaysia**, rather than directly importing the chips into China. ([Quartz][1])
* 🇨🇳 **Chinese AI firms:** Moonshot AI, ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent have been linked to offshore compute access.
* 🇹🇭🇲🇾 **Southeast Asia:** Data centers in Thailand and Malaysia can provide remote access to NVIDIA GPUs.
* 🖥️ **The loophole:** Current U.S. export controls primarily regulate the **physical transfer of chips**, while remote cloud access can fall outside those rules. ([Quartz][1])
* 🇺🇸 **Washington response:** The U.S. Commerce Department's BIS is reviewing how Chinese firms access advanced NVIDIA chips overseas.
* ⚠️ **Market impact:** A tighter crackdown could affect NVIDIA's overseas demand, Southeast Asian data-center operators, and the broader AI semiconductor supply chain.
**Bottom line:** The issue is shifting from *“Can China buy advanced NVIDIA chips?”* to *“Can China remotely rent access to them abroad?”* — potentially creating a major new front in the U.S.–China AI chip conflict. ([TNW][2])
