\n\nThe findings come a day after Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, a vocal advocate of easing export restrictions, resigned as chief executive over a scandal.
\n\nHuang's departure could deepen vulnerabilities for Chinese companies exposed to potential delays and supply disruptions as US curbs tighten.
\n\nBelow are details of projects the Reuters review identified:

\n\nIn northwestern Shaanxi province, state-owned engineering group Sinomach said a subsidiary won a contract as part of a project for a 3 billion yuan computing centre specifying Nvidia H100 and H200 processors.
\n\nIn northeastern Jilin province, an April government prospectus describes another 2.26 billion…
