The Chinese regulatory authority has banned local companies from purchasing Nvidia chips, encouraging the development of domestic semiconductors.

The internet regulatory authority in China has ordered companies like ByteDance and Alibaba to stop purchasing RTX Pro 6000D chips from Nvidia, in the context of efforts to boost the local industry and reduce dependence on American technology. This ban, which exceeds previous regulations, comes after authorities concluded that domestic products have comparable performance to those of Nvidia. Beijing aims to develop internal capabilities in the semiconductor field, and Chinese companies are now engaged in building an autonomous technological system.
