BTCCSquare news:
Beijing has ordered major Chinese tech firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to immediately suspend testing and purchases of Nvidia's RTX Pro 6000D AI chips. The directive from the Cyberspace Administration of China reflects growing tensions in the semiconductor sector, now a focal point of U.S.-China geopolitical competition.
Several companies had begun evaluations and planned bulk orders before the abrupt halt. The move underscores China's push for technological self-sufficiency following U.S. export controls on advanced chips. Nvidia developed the 6000D series specifically to comply with earlier American restrictions.
