maybe China will only pay quarter of that price to replace that amount.
And also they'll resell broken parts of RTX 3090 that fell off too

none of the story makes sense:

40 containers of RTX 3090 cards, at a total value of about 2.2 million renminbi ($336K in US dollars).

If the reported value is correct—and refers to suggested retail price of the cards—we're talking about roughly 224 stolen GPUs.

224 gpu boxes would not fill a single container
