不断发展的英伟达事件加剧了对顶尖中国公司获取先进美国算力的合法途径的审查。
The unfolding Nvidia saga has intensified scrutiny of the legal means by which top Chinese firms are able to access advanced American compute.
被指控将英伟达芯片走私到中国的新加坡公司美加速，是这起丑闻的中心，而华盛顿的出口管制却为能够获得最先进英伟达芯片的亚洲云服务运营商创造了丰厚机会，为中国超大规模云服务商提供了合法漏洞。
While Megaspeed, the Singaporean firm at the center of the scandal, is suspected of smuggling Nvidia chips to China, Washington’s export controls have spawned lucrative opportunities for Asian cloud operators that get their hands on the most advanced Nvidia chips, offering a legal loophole to Chinese hyperscalers.
总部位于新加坡的DayOne估值约150亿美元，其最大客户是字节跳动，而Moonshot试图利用托管在欧洲的英伟达芯片，凸显了“我们出口管制制度的荒谬性”，卡内基国际和平基金会的一位专家表示。“没有哪个政府有胆量对此采取行动。”
Singapore-based DayOne is worth roughly $15 billion and counts ByteDance as its top customer, while Moonshot has looked to tap Nvidia chips hosted in Europe, highlighting “the nonsensical nature of our export control regime,” a Carnegie Endowment expert said. “No administration has had the cojones to do something about it.”
