NEW YORK, 18 Sept. - (ANA) - Nvidia stock fell Wednesday after a report said China’s internet regulator has banned the country’s biggest tech companies from buying its custom-made artificial-intelligence chips for the Chinese market.

 

It’s another blow to Nvidia’s Chinese aspirations in the world’s second-largest economy after Beijing urged companies to avoid using its H20 semiconductors over the summer. However, Nvidia has already removed Chinese sales from its forecasts.

 

The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) told TikTok parent ByteDance, e-commerce giant Alibaba, and others to end testing and orders of RTX Pro 6000D—Nvidia’s tailor-made product for the country, the Financial Times reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

 

The RTX Pro 6000D was introduced only in July, when Nvidia also said the U.S. would ease its previous ban on the H20 chip.

 

“We can only be in service of a market if a country wants us to be,” said CEO Jensen Huang at a Wednesday press conference in London in response to a question about the CAC.

 

 

 

 

“I’m disappointed with what I see but they have larger agendas to work out between China and the United States,” Huang added. “I’m patient about it. We’ll continue to be supportive of the Chinese government and Chinese companies as they wish.”

 

Nvidia declined to further comment on a potential China ban on its RTX Pro 6000D chip. Alibaba, and ByteDance didn’t immediately respond to a Barron’s request for comment.   - (ANA) -
