State-linked Chinese entities are reportedly using cloud services provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and its rivals to access advanced U.S. chips and artificial intelligence capabilities that are otherwise restricted from export to China. According to tenders, these entities are leveraging cloud technology to obtain high-end Nvidia chips and AI models, which are banned from direct export to China. This strategic move allows Chinese entities to bypass export restrictions and gain access to cutting-edge U.S. technology.
