Original: China's ByteDance gained access to over 2k Nvidia B200 chips through Norway

ByteDance, the Chinese parent company of TikTok, reportedly gained access to more than 2,000 Nvidia B200 AI chips through Nscale's data center operations in Norway, according to a filing. A Singaporean subsidiary reportedly contributed 73% of the UK neocloud provider's 2025 revenue. The arrangement raises fresh questions about how Chinese firms obtain restricted US AI hardware despite export controls.

Why now: It highlights a potential loophole in US export controls on advanced AI chips reaching China through third countries.
