China bans its biggest tech companies from acquiring Nvidia chips, says report — Beijing claims its homegrown AI processors now match H20 and RTX Pro 6000D

China's top internet regulator, CAC, has reportedly banned major tech companies from acquiring Nvidia's AI chips, including the RTX Pro 6000D, claiming that domestic AI processors now match Nvidia's offerings. This move follows a ban on Nvidia's H20 chips and accusations of breaking anti-monopoly laws. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang expressed disappointment but understanding, hoping to discuss the situation with President Trump. Some believe China aims to boost its semiconductor industry and gain leverage in trade negotiations with the U.S. amid uncertainties over export approval for its Blackwell-based B30 chips.
