Jensen Huang exit and US scrutiny imperil $3 billion in Chinese AI projects reliant on Nvidia
Nvidia has said US export controls have effectively shut it out of China’s AI data-centre market, but a Reuters review has identified more than $3 billion in Chinese computing projects built around the American chipmaker’s restricted processors.
The projects, stretching from China’s wealthy coastal technology hubs to remote western provinces, reveal the scale of continuing demand for Nvidia hardware even as Washington seeks to curb Beijing’s access to the technology powering the global artificial-intelligence boom.
The Reuters review examined more than 150 Chinese procurement notices, investment plans, construction contracts and corporate disclosures, identifying projects and equipment agreements with a combined reported value exceeding 23 billion yuan ($3.2 billion).
