The US Justice Department has charged four men, two Chinese nationals and two Americans, with conspiring to illegally export advanced Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) with artificial intelligence applications to China. The defendants allegedly used a complex scheme involving Malaysia and Thailand to transship the controlled Nvidia GPUs to China, falsifying paperwork and misleading US authorities. They received nearly $4 million from China to finance the export scheme, exporting around 400 Nvidia A100 GPUs between October 2024 and January 2025. The defendants face up to 20 years in prison if convicted. The scheme is part of China's effort to acquire cutting-edge US technology to become the world leader in AI by 2030.

The article discusses the fragile peace in Ethiopia after a brutal war between the government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) ended three years ago. The peace deal is now unravelling as Ethiopia's autocratic leader, Abiy Ahmed, ignores the agreement, and the TPLF and Tigray's armed forces prepare to return to fighting. Skirmishes have broken out on the region's southern border, and the Ethiopian army has responded with drone strikes. The TPLF has accused the government of a 'strategy of extermination'. The article warns that pressure from America and its allies is needed to prevent a return to war.

The US has accused four individuals, including two Chinese nationals and two US citizens, of smuggling millions of dollars worth of advanced Nvidia chips to China in violation of national security export restrictions. The men used a fake real estate business in Florida as a front to move the shipments through Malaysia and ultimately to China. The chips, including Nvidia's A100 data center chips, are subject to US export controls due to concerns that they could be used to strengthen China's military and threaten US national security. The four charged face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
