Sources document a DOJ-charged scheme that shipped advanced AI chips through Thailand and Malaysia to China, which supports the claimed Thailand channel. They describe the buyers as Chinese nationals and China generally rather than the Chinese Communist Party itself, so the CCP attribution is inferred rather than directly documented.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

How are they getting oh, they're getting them through a third party in Thailand, just like shipping these chips to the Middle East. The black market for these advanced chips, and the Chinese Communist Party is doing it. Why is nobody pursuing it aggressively except for a handful of patriots? …
Bannon`s War Room · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. A House Select Committee release (published 2026-03-26) says DOJ charged three individuals with smuggling billions of dollars of advanced AI chips to China, and a November 2025 indictment alleged a scheme to ship chips to Thailand and Malaysia for onward shipment to China.[1]
Context. A House Select Committee report (published 2026-08-22, after the claim date) describes Chinese firms reaching restricted chips through offshore data centers in Malaysia and Singapore, which shows the broader third-country channel but does not mention Thailand.[2]
Context. The claim attributes the activity to the Chinese Communist Party, while the cited enforcement record names Chinese nationals and China; the post's wording was resolved to the CCP, so the core Thailand-channel assertion is graded as supported with the attribution inferred.[1]
