Wtf why is everyone assuming Nvidia skirted an export ban and treasonously sold chips to China? It was done legally with the US government taking a cut: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/07/business/economy/nvidia-c...

Nvidia is a profitmaxxing company in a profitmaxxing economy and so it is going to profitmaxx; the criticism should lie with the US government: https://www.reuters.com/world/china/republican-senator-urges...

Everybody has a responsibility to uphold rule of law in any democracy. I'm tired of the narrative that U.S. companies are helpless entities that can only seek profit at the expense of everybody else. Ok then, if it was profitable to wipe out the entire planet with a nuclear war (Vault-tech) would you be fine with a company doing so?

I think your article reference another company (New Matrix) and not the one of Alice Huang (Megaspeed).

Your allegations are unfounded. No one but a few people really know what was going on, and one certainty is that the current us administration isn’t going to take the blame for it.

It's not clear from the article you linked whether MegaSpeed was an approved buyer of NVidia chips or not.

Jensen's job as a CEO was to generate revenue. He was doing "sales" using the reverse-honeypot strategy. He got the chips sold, they were permitted by Lutnick, he came home, shook hands with daddy Trump. My god, what a way to create shareholder value. The revelations of the other indiscretions were the 2nd and 3rd wave assaults in case he was withering the 1st attack of the classic tried and true "alleged spy lover" offensive. The drip drip leaks (NYT+WSJ+FT we see you) were timed after the midterms when it became clear that Trump had no more linebackers to defend the line. Jensen had no fighting chance at that point.

Because the woman he has an affair with happens to run a shell company that funnels chips to China and skirts the export ban. What a coincidence, huh?

I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that.
