According to Reuters, Northwestern Polytechnical University, a Chinese military-linked institution on the U.S. export control blacklist, obtained two Nvidia H200 advanced AI chips worth 874,700 yuan (approximately $123,000) last month through a domestic supplier, circumventing U.S. restrictions. The university's purchasing records, published on October 21, show the chips were procured from Shaanxi Bozuan Network Technology Company rather than directly from Nvidia. The H200 is among Nvidia's most powerful AI chips, requiring U.S. government approval for export and typically denied to blacklisted entities.

The acquisition highlights gaps in Washington's efforts to restrict China's access to advanced technology. Reuters' broader investigation found multiple Chinese universities and research institutions with military or defense ties have obtained U.S.-restricted Nvidia chips or rented computing services featuring these processors through domestic suppliers throughout 2026.
