ByteDance accessed 2,000 Nvidia B200 chips via Norway

Original: China's ByteDance gained access to over 2k Nvidia B200 chips through Norway

A new filing reveals that ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, gained access to more than 2,000 Nvidia B200 chips through Nscale's data center operations in Norway. A Singaporean subsidiary called Spring reportedly contributed 73 percent of a UK neocloud provider's 2025 revenue. The arrangement highlights how export controls restricting advanced US chips to China may be circumvented through cloud services and third countries.

Why now: The filing suggests US chip export controls on China are being bypassed through European cloud infrastructure, raising regulatory and geopolitical concerns.
