China tells tech giants to stop buying Nvidia AI chips

China’s internet regulator has ordered major tech companies to stop buying Nvidia’s AI chips and cancel existing orders, the Financial Times reported, citing three people familiar with the directive. The Cyberspace Administration of China told firms including ByteDance and Alibaba to terminate testing and orders of Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, speaking in London, said the United States and China “have larger agendas to work out,” adding he was disappointed but patient. The move follows Beijing’s accusation that Nvidia violated anti-monopoly law and comes as U.S. officials raise national security concerns at talks in Madrid. The reported ban goes beyond earlier guidance focused on Nvidia’s H20 chip.
