NVIDIA (Nvidia) executive chief Huang Rensheng recently expressed his disappointment that the company's latest artificial intelligence (AI) chip designed for the Chinese market was banned by China's Internet monitoring agency. A report said that after China has ordered top-level technology companies to stop purchasing and cancel existing orders for NVIDIA AI chips, Huang Renfeng not only expressed disappointment but also said that this is because the United States and China have bigger problems to be solved.
The British Financial Times quoted people familiar with the matter, and the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) has directed Internet technology companies including word-hopping and Alibaba to terminate RTX Pro 6000D chip testing and orders.
The latest ban is more strict than the previous ban on NVIDIA's pre-generation AI chip H20 tailored for China. Before the CAC order was issued, several Chinese companies had stated that they would order RTX Pro 6000D and had started testing and verification with NVIDIA's server suppliers. However, after receiving the CAC command, the relevant work is immediately requested to stop. In this regard, Alibaba, font-speech and CAC will make any reply to the report.
Huang Ren-Hong expressed his opinion when reporters in London responded to questions about CAC. Point out that if a country wants us to exist, we can serve that market. I am disappointed with the situation I have seen, but there are bigger problems between China and the United States that need to be solved, and I am very patient with this. We will continue to support the Chinese government and Chinese companies as long as they wish. However, NVIDIA's latest AI chip RTX Pro 6000D has been demanded for the Chinese market, because some major technology companies choose not to order.
This incident once again highlights the ongoing technological and trade relations between the United States and China. The U.S. government has imposed restrictions on China's acquisition of advanced chips, prompting China to encourage domestic companies to use local suppliers' products, which has caused a shock to suppliers such as NVIDIA. Just a few days before this ban, China accused NVIDIA of violating the anti-corruption law, which means that the U.S.-China trade war has risen again. At the same time, the trade negotiations held by US officials with China in Madrid this week also expressed national security grievances.
