One of the dodges China has used to get US technology is to have "legitimate" businesses buy more than their real business activities need and ship the extra to China.

Nvidia said it had initiated an independent investigation into CEO Jensen Huang, who admitted on Sunday to having an extramarital affair with a Chinese executive suspected of spying for Beijing. He’ll remain CEO pending the investigation’s outcome.
“I was unfaithful to my wife,” Huang wrote in a company-wide letter seen by Semafor. “My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.”
“To my colleagues at NVIDIA, including those I have worked alongside for decades, and to our board, partners, and shareholders around the world: you deserve better from me. Leading NVIDIA is the privilege of my life. My responsibility is to serve you and be worthy of your trust. I have fallen short of that responsibility. I am fully committed to NVIDIA and will work to earn back your confidence.”
The revelations come after The New York Times reported that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had drafted a memo to top Trump administration officials warning that the Nvidia CEO was in a close relationship with Chinese citizen Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, which builds data centers in Southeast Asia and provides compute to mainland giant Alibaba. US officials fear the company may have acted as a backdoor for funneling export-controlled Nvidia chips to Beijing, the Times reported.
