    Apologies I don’t know but: is Nvidia a US company? What happens if they decide China is the better market for them? They lose out on the US but gain on the Chinese? Doesn’t the US need Nvidia for AI dominance? Why would they actively piss them off?

    Again, sorry I don’t follow these things closely.

      nvidia is a US company. They are subject to ITAR regulations.

      They need non-Chinese IP to build their GPUs and fab them (ie EUV tech and TSMC to fab).

      China is a big market, but still smaller than the US and Europe by quite a bit.

      Unless USA wants to do an England and lose a massive amount of bleeding edge tech IP, they would simply shut down any attempts of Nvidia to move outside the US’s jurisdiction.

      Nvidia’s technology is tied to national security so it would never happen. Might as well ask why Lockheed Martin doesn’t sell to China.
