Reading the news, it seemed like the Chinese government was trying to prevent h200 chip sales from properly happening, in part to avoid reliance on nvidia (and western companies as a whole) and in part to encourage their local manufacturers to produce something competitive enough.

Unsurprising considering China has seen how volatile the US president is and they themselves like to string their trade partners up high and dry to get their way.

It is absolutely terrible that countries do not play nice and hse trade between one another as a cudgel to whack one another to get whatever they want. This only serves to cut efficiency of using resources and serves to fragment the world.

I am curious if nvda has had any expression of interest by China companies, or are they simply believing in their own hype and that the companies will for sure order their AI chips because they are nvda and they are the goliath if the western world.
