Chinese universities and research institutions linked to the country’s defense sector are seeking access to NVIDIA’s advanced AI processors, according to procurement records reviewed by The Japan Times.

Access to advanced AI chips has become a major focus of US export controls targeting China, as the processors are used to train and operate artificial intelligence models.

According to the report, at least seven Chinese universities supporting the country’s armed forces have sought access to NVIDIA’s H200 processors, while more than 25 military-linked institutions have used or attempted to obtain the company’s AI chips.
