China’s move to curb Nvidia’s AI chip orders followed perceived insults from U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who openly stated the U.S. WOULD not sell its top-tier technology to China. Lutnick’s comments, including a remark about making Chinese developers 'addicted' to American tech, triggered backlash among senior Chinese leaders.
Days later, China’s Cyberspace Administration issued informal guidance to major tech firms like ByteDance and Alibaba, advising them to halt purchases of Nvidia’s H20 chips over security concerns. The directive has led to significant order reductions, escalating tensions in the U.S.-China tech rivalry.
