China blocks imports of Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D chips

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang expressed frustration over the move during a London press conference, acknowledging the broader geopolitical friction defining the current trade climate. This restriction arrives shortly after a separate agreement, brokered with the Trump administration, previously permitted the sale of H20 chips to Chinese entities in exchange for a 15 percent profit share.

House Speaker Mike Johnson framed the development within a wider context of adversarial competition, accusing China of disregarding international trade norms. As Beijing accelerates efforts to bolster domestic semiconductor manufacturing, the move serves as a direct response to years of reciprocal export controls involving both high-end AI hardware and the raw materials essential for chip production.
