Procurement records spanning six years show that the People’s Liberation Army attempted to purchase Nvidia chips subject to U.S. export restrictions. The analysis examined purchase orders and supplier documentation that listed the chips by model number and quantity.
The documents indicate the military placed orders through multiple intermediaries and listed the components for use in computing systems. U.S. export rules currently restrict sales of certain advanced semiconductors to Chinese military entities.
The records do not state whether the attempted purchases were completed or blocked by enforcement actions. No named individuals or specific transaction values appear in the reviewed documents.
