Semiconductor Industry Association — Estimated Chip Diversion: 140,000

NoteThe claim states 'CNAS median estimate of ~140,000 chips diverted to China in 2024, representing 6-10% of China's AI compute.' The source explicitly confirms: (1) the median estimate is 'around 140,000' chips for 2024, and (2) the percentage range is 'median 6 percent' for inference and 'median 10 percent' for training compute capacity. The claim's 6-10% range aligns with the source's median estimates. The claim attributes this to 'Semiconductor Industry Association' but the source is actually from CNAS; however, the numerical data itself is confirmed by CNAS's own analysis. The exact stored value of 140000 matches the source's stated median estimate.
