The trade war between the United States and China has been escalating since Donald Trump took office as US President. In parallel, various trade restrictions have been imposed on China, including obstacles in terms of chip sales to China.
China itself has taken steps to address it, including focusing on the development of its own chips by local companies there. At the same time, China has also been seen instructing local companies to use local solutions and chips to further boost the industry in China.
Recently, a new report has emerged saying that Chinese authorities and regulators have asked ByteDance not to use NVIDIA chips in their new data centers. Previously, ByteDance had obtained a number of NVIDIA chips to power their processing and operations.
China has asked various local companies to use domestically produced chips for various data center projects and also for artificial intelligence projects. This move is also seen to allow various local companies to compete more actively, and at the same time will reduce dependence on western technology.
