Decoy processors carry Korean HBM past US export controls into China
What happened
A loophole in US export controls reportedly lets high-bandwidth memory (HBM) made by Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix reach China's AI chip industry. The loophole shows how much Huawei's next-generation processors still depend on foreign memory, while China's domestic suppliers struggle to close the gap. The source does not state the time scope of the report or specific export volumes.
