U.S. authorities have secretly placed location tracking devices in targeted shipments of advanced chips they see as being at high risk of illegal diversion to #China, according to two people with direct knowledge of the previously unreported law enforcement tactic.
The measures aim to detect #AI chips being diverted to destinations which are under U.S. export restrictions, and apply only to select shipments under investigation, the people said. #tech
