Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed the company cannot modify its Hopper architecture for Chinese AI chips, following tightened US export controls. The revelation came during Huang’s recent visit to China, underscoring the market’s strategic importance despite growing trade barriers.

The semiconductor giant now faces the challenge of designing an entirely new product line after its H20 chip – a deliberately downgraded version created to comply with earlier restrictions – was blocked by Washington. This development signals deeper fractures in global tech supply chains as nations increasingly weaponize trade policy in the AI arms race.
