claim C-0059 Unconfirmed unnamed source
The Information: Century Litong imported ~240,000 Nvidia chips worth ≥$7.5B into China since 2023, and became an Nvidia preferred cloud partner four months after founding
Unnamed / document-based reporting, relayed only. One relay says the chips included Blackwells, another lists H100/H200/A100, so the chip mix is inconsistent across relays. Link to Alice Huang is reported via an entity in which her sister Huang Yu indirectly held a stake. No Nvidia response found.
