An approved Chinese buyer of NVIDIA's H200 appears to have an empty office, NYT reports

The Verge, summarizing a New York Times report, says New Matrix is on the list of firms approved to handle NVIDIA's H200 chips, yet its listed office is an empty shell. The Times found little evidence the company, created 17 months ago, exists in any meaningful way. The Verge says this raises questions about whether the Commerce Department and NVIDIA are vetting approved buyers carefully.

Why it matters: Export approvals only limit where chips go if the approved buyers are real and checked.
