Another is the pretense of overcoming Chinese resistance. China sent a cute spy to bang the CEO of Nvidia, but they simultaneously set a "strict limit" on import of Nvidia chips. How does that make sense? It makes sense if the purpose of the "strict limit" is so that any sale of H200 to China can be seen as overcoming Chinese restrictions. Anything that is against the Chinese government's resistance must be good for the US, right?

It could be that they wanted design information and other details from him, and were going to use those to build up domestic manufacturing alongside import restrictions.

It's hard to say from the outside what the goals would be - pushing him in certain directions, extracting intel, etc.

For this it would be much easier if the Chinese spies banged Nvidia engineers.

More likely that she was given devices to plant / message him zero day PDFs or whatever.

China also opens up visa free for many countries now, on the other hand, raising requirements for longer stays (work permits, green cards).
