In your words, this guy[1] was also selling as well "to one of the largest markets for GPUs in the world". So, his actions should be legal, and the arrest was wrong?

Going to repeat the words of another commenter here: "Crazy how naive HN is about foreign intelligence. "

Crazy of you to assume that every HN user is an American and supports Trump's interests in confronting China.

You don't need to like Trump to see China with more than a little suspicion. China it not a friend of the west.

China has no friends or enemies, only interests.

Which makes it a far more stable counterparty than the United States.

we started dealing with that problem lately, I have no love lost for the current US administration and I'm European btw, but if you think China is not a problem for the EEUU you have something else coming your way.

The USA is not the West.

The US is not friend of anyone. Just ask Denmark, Canada or Mexico. Or ask Nato countries, who are suppose to be official allies of the USA. Heck, ask kurds how their alliance with the USA and their sacrifices against ISIS went.

China is a way more of a fair and peaceful trading partner for the EU/World than the USA is.

I believe the GP's point is that profit is a sufficient motive for Nvidia wanting to sell GPUs to China, and thus for looking for ways to loosen or work around export restrictions, if not outright lawbreaking.
