A new report by the UK-China Transparency organization claims that British company Imagination Technologies has supplied Chinese companies with critical GPU IP technologies that could be used for China's government, military, and secret service applications.
In the report, UKCT accuses Imagination's managers and investor Canyon Bridge (which is controlled by China Reform, an arm of the Chinese government) of facilitating the transfer of key technology assets to Chinese companies, which now rival Imagination and other GPU developers. The technology was reportedly transferred to Moore Threads for example, which has links to a company that supplies GPUs to China's military, and Biren technology, which is partly owned by the Russian government.
