They\u2019ve charged six men <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/chinese-national-and-two-us-citizens-charged-conspiring-smuggle-artificial-intelligence\">over the past three weeks<\/a> with smuggling billions of dollars\u2019 worth of AI chips to China. The indictments, while a tactical victory, are a warning of how pervasive the problem has become, thanks both to loopholes in federal law and a failure to support existing laws with serious enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Both Washington and Beijing have tried to reshape AI chip supply chains to bolster their respective national security agendas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-04-08\/greer-stresses-china-trade-over-investment-before-trump-xi-meet\">ahead<\/a> of an expected trade-focused summit in May. While the United States has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdd.org\/analysis\/2025\/09\/08\/why-export-controls-work-5-debunked-myths-about-u-s-china-ai-competition\/\">imposed<\/a> export controls on advanced chips to cut off China\u2019s military modernization efforts, China has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdd.org\/analysis\/2025\/11\/10\/signaling-confidence-in-its-domestic-industry-china-bans-foreign-ai-chips-in-state-funded-data-centers\/\">pushed<\/a> its firms to adopt domestically produced components to secure its self-reliance.<\/p>\n<p>But neither side can fully avoid the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/history\/famous-cases\/willie-sutton\">Willie Sutton<\/a> rule. Why smuggle chips? Because that\u2019s where the profit is \u2014 particularly without enough resources dedicated to enforcement. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A closed Chinese market grasping for more powerful alternatives to their own products offers a prime incentive for American firms to provide components to Beijing. Smuggling has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdd.org\/analysis\/policy_briefs\/2025\/03\/04\/seeking-decisive-edge-china-uses-third-party-countries-to-circumvent-u-s-ai-export-controls\/\">transformed<\/a> an emerging network of data center infrastructure across Southeast Asia into a source of illicit computing power for U.S. adversaries.<\/p>\n<p>The recent cases highlight these features in detail. In March, prosecutors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdd.org\/analysis\/2026\/03\/20\/exposure-of-major-chinese-linked-chip-smuggling-operations-shows-limits-of-industry-self-policing\/\">charged<\/a> three people connected to Super Micro Computer, an American computing firm, with smuggling an estimated $2.5 billion in chips to Chinese customers by shipping servers to the company\u2019s offices in Taiwan and elsewhere in the region. In the meantime, the trio designed warehouses full of fake products to fool U.S. authorities. A week later, prosecutors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/chinese-national-and-two-us-citizens-charged-conspiring-smuggle-artificial-intelligence\">unveiled<\/a> charges against another three individuals accused of conspiring to ship advanced chips to China via business contacts in Thailand.<\/p>\n<p>This string of prosecutions suggests that despite some high-profile successes, smuggling remains a pervasive issue across the industry. While this is partially a problem of professed ignorance, it can also be solved with a combination of policy, personnel, and policing. <\/p>\n<p>The United States must strengthen controls over emerging technologies at the factory floor rather than the airport gate. While Washington has strong export control laws, these regulations are intended to prevent components from leaving the country. They do not, however, block Chinese firms from purchasing these technologies inside the country.<\/p>\n<p>This divergence in intentions produces difficulties for prosecution, as smugglers are often solely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdd.org\/analysis\/2026\/03\/20\/exposure-of-major-chinese-linked-chip-smuggling-operations-shows-limits-of-industry-self-policing\/\">indicted<\/a> for evading customs enforcement rather than charged with illicitly obtaining the components while still on American soil. However, Congress can close this loophole via stronger due diligence laws that require greater scrutiny of potential customers ahead of the customs enforcement process.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Washington is also in an arms race with AI firms to properly fund enforcement mechanisms, a race it is currently losing. While one smuggling case alone involved $2.5 billion, federal spending on policing export controls <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commerce.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2024-03\/BIS-FY2025-Congressional-Budget-Submission.pdf\">amounted<\/a> to $122 million in all of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, this surge of investment in computer hardware is increasingly global in scope, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdd.org\/analysis\/2025\/10\/01\/adversary-supply-chains-targeted-in-major-update-to-u-s-export-controls\/\">magnifying<\/a> the current shortage of federal agents responsible for enforcing export controls at the exact moment both allies and adversaries are seeking to purchase ever larger batches of advanced chips.<\/p>\n<p>Even with stronger policies and more personnel, prosecuting AI chip smuggling must also remain a policing priority for federal law enforcement. While these cases are often complex due to a range of technical and jurisdiction challenges, as well as an array of shifting export control regimes, the FBI and the Commerce Department should remain committed to tracking and disrupting these smuggling networks.<\/p>\n<p>It will be key for the administration to separate enforcement actions from its ongoing diplomatic exchanges with Beijing \u2014 dropping domestic prosecutions should not be used as a bargaining chip to deliver trade concessions during the President Donald Trump\u2019s upcoming travels to Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>We need stronger enforcement so that the next billion-dollar smuggling case marks real progress, rather than exposing just how much slipped through.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Jack Burnham is a senior research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies\u2019 China Program, focusing on China\u2019s military, emerging technologies, and science and technology policy.
