NVIDIA China AI Chip Restrictions Intensify Amid Import Scrutiny

Chinese authorities are tightening restrictions on NVIDIA AI chip imports, targeting RTX 6000D and H20 models. Major tech firms receive directives to cancel NVIDIA orders in favor of domestic suppliers as Beijing accelerates semiconductor self-reliance efforts.

NVIDIA faces escalating restrictions in China as the Chinese government intensifies scrutiny of AI chip imports, particularly targeting the RTX 6000D and H20 models designed for compliance with export controls. According to Financial Times reports, Chinese customs authorities are now subjecting all semiconductor imports to enhanced examination to prevent domestic firms from acquiring restricted NVIDIA hardware. This crackdown aligns with Beijing’s broader strategy to accelerate development of a fully localized AI semiconductor supply chain while reducing dependence on American technology.
