A group of high-ranking US tech executives are under investigation for allegedly smuggling NVIDIA chips to China, prosecutors say. This is the first time that such allegations have been made against top American companies. The accusations claim that these executives deliberately exported highly sensitive technology to the Chinese government, which could be used in advanced military projects. An official statement from the Department of Justice says that further investigations are ongoing to determine the extent of the smuggling operation and potential penalties for those involved.
