After China sales collapse, Nvidia shuts AI chip ‘back door’

 Nvidia is cutting off over half its Asian customers to stop AI chip smuggling. The company now physically visits data centers and interviews end-users. This move follows US pressure and a Supermicro smuggling case. China faces a severe AI computing power shortage due to export bans. Beijing hopes domestic factories will triple production capacity by year-end. Nvidia is cutting off over half its Asian customers to stop AI chip smuggling.
