Nvidia tells data centre customers to curb their exposure to China
The world's largest chipmaker is requiring cloud computing service providers that most of their clients are not Chinese. Read
Nvidia has ordered its data center partners to limit their exposure to Chinese clients, requiring that at least 51% of their services be allocated to non-Chinese companies. This move is a new blow to China's tech aspirations in AI, as Washington seeks to restrict Chinese access to advanced US chips through cloud computing service agreements abroad.
The rules apply globally and affect future contracts, not existing ones. Nvidia stated that its policy aligns with US tradition of promoting US infrastructure and business opportunities worldwide. The measures have sparked concerns among cloud service providers, who find it challenging to find enough non-Chinese clients outside the US.
