Semiconductor Industry Association — Estimated Chip Diversion: 140,000
The source directly states a median estimate of approximately 140,000 chips diverted to China in 2024, which matches the claim's exact stored value of 140000. The source also confirms this represents 6-10% of China's AI compute capacity (the source states 'between 1 and 30 percent of its inference compute capacity (median 6 percent) or between 1 and 40 percent of its training compute capacity (median 10 percent)'). The temporal alignment is correct (2024-12 timeframe). The claim attributes this to CNAS, which is the correct source organization.
