China's Biren Technology sees 2,000% revenue growth amid US export controls

Chinese AI accelerator supplier Biren Technology has experienced a significant surge in revenue, growing nearly 2,000% year-over-year in the first half of 2026. This growth is largely attributed to U.S. export controls that have restricted Nvidia and AMD from supplying their AI GPUs to China. Despite the impressive percentage increase, Biren's absolute revenue remains relatively small, and the company faces challenges in securing manufacturing capacity to meet demand and compete with other domestic players.
