China banned an Nvidia chip while Jensen Huang was literally in Beijing.
The chip - designed specifically to comply with US export controls so Nvidia could still sell in China - was added to the banned goods list on Friday. Huang arrived Thursday.
Here's the uncomfortable truth about export controls:
Nvidia sold $17bn in chips to China in 2025. That number is now heading to zero.
In its place, Huawei has built the CloudMatrix 384 which is an AI cluster China claims outperforms Nvidia's best product by 67% in compute.
US export controls were designed to slow China's AI buildout. What they actually did was give Huawei a captive market, accelerate domestic chip development, and get China to the point where it's comfortable banning Nvidia entirely.
The policy worked exactly as China wanted.
