alt Hacker NewsSenators Wyden and Neal just opened an investigation.
They spell the accusation right out:
WYDEN AND NEAL BEGIN TO INVESTIGATE ADMINISTRATION SCHEME TO TAKE CUT OF NVIDIA AI CHIP SALES TO CHINESE COMPANIES; TRUMP AND COMMERCE DEPARTMENT REPORTEDLY IGNORED WARNINGS ABOUT FORMER CEO’S RELATIONSHIP WITH ALLEGED CHINESE SPY

They didn't ignore, they exploited.
I'm convinced there's a good chance Trump blackmailed Huang for that cut (same playbook as Epstein). If Trump had that information, as has been widely reported, he'd use it.
I think all can be true at once, this is an administration staffed by extractative people, Alice Huang wasn't hiding the affair's meetcutes on her public Wechat, Megaspeed is forwarding the GPU's to mainland Chinese buyers just like everyone else, the US export control ban is the law, the law is dumb and ineffective and creates the opportunities
Ah yes. That might partly explain all this brouhaha just after the midterms and just after the spectacular republican defeat.
What is the basis for “take a cut”? Is there any reporting on that? These crooks…
