China Orders Halt to Nvidia Chip Purchases Amid U.S. Trade Tensions
The U.S.–China tech rivalry has intensified once again. Beijing has officially ordered its largest technology firms to halt purchases of Nvidia’s artificial intelligence (AI) chips, underlining the shift toward homegrown processors. This MOVE signals a deepening bifurcation in global tech supply chains.
Trade tensions between the two economic powers continue to reshape the semiconductor landscape. The directive accelerates China’s push for self-sufficiency in critical technologies, a strategic priority amid escalating export controls from Washington.
