Qing Yun: General Manager Suspended Amid Allegations of Illegally Selling NVIDIA Chip Servers to China

(CNA, reporter Wang Chaoyu, Keelung, July 1) The general manager of Qing Yun International Technology Co., Ltd., a man surnamed Lu, was detained yesterday by court order on suspicion of illegally reselling servers equipped with high-end NVIDIA chips to mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau. Qing Yun Technology announced today that it has suspended General Manager Lu from his duties, effective immediately, and will fully cooperate with the investigation.

Qing Yun Technology issued a statement saying that the company adheres to integrity in its operations and complies with legal regulations. It has always been cautious and diligent in distributing and selling AI server products subject to export controls, adhering to export control regulations and implementing layered internal controls. However, it was deceived and exploited by malicious individuals who illegally transferred controlled products to restricted areas. The company will not only fully cooperate with the investigation by judicial authorities but will also conduct internal reviews and strengthen strict control processes.

Qing Yun Technology stated that the company's operations are currently normal, and this incident has no significant impact on the company's finances or business. Due to some media outlets publishing inaccurate headlines with vague wording and misattributing facts, the company hereby issues this statement to protect the rights and interests of the company and its shareholders, and hopes that the judicial authorities will clarify the truth as soon as possible.

On June 29, the Keelung District Prosecutors Office launched its second wave of actions, searching the Taiwan Asia-Pacific headquarters of Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Supermicro), Supermicro distributor Qing Yun Technology, CHT Cloud Services Co., Ltd., and the residences of related individuals at a total of 12 locations.

After interrogation by the prosecutor, Lu, who is suspected of forging documents and breach of trust, along with Lin and Wang, who are responsible for sales at Supermicro, were brought before the Keelung District Court. After the judge's inquiry, it was determined that the three individuals had significant grounds for suspicion and that there was sufficient reason to believe they might flee or tamper with evidence. The court ruled to detain all three without bail. (Editor: Li Hengshan) 1150701
