Taiwan Charges 9 Over Alleged AI Server Smuggling to China

Taiwan prosecutors charged nine people, including former Nvidia and Super Micro employees, over an alleged scheme to divert high-end AI servers to China, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The group allegedly secured approval to buy 130 Super Micro servers equipped with advanced Nvidia chips by claiming the hardware would remain in Taiwan. Prosecutors say 74 servers ultimately reached China through Hong Kong, Japan, and Indonesia, while customs intercepted another 56 before shipment.
The case comes as U.S. export controls continue restricting China's access to advanced Nvidia hardware.
