Per the Financial Times, the US Commerce Department has stalled adding compute company Megaspeed to the export "entity list" for two months, even though State, Treasury, Energy and the Pentagon all pushed to list it over suspected smuggling of Nvidia chips into China. The company is also linked to an alleged Chinese spy who had an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Commerce, which chairs the listing panel, controls the process, exposing inter-agency rifts in chip export-control enforcement.
