China banned Nvidia's RTX 5090D V2 chip, signaling a shift toward reducing dependency on U.S. semiconductors and favoring domestic alternatives. While the U.S. approved H200 sales to Chinese tech companies, no chips have been delivered due to undisclosed conditions from Beijing. Nvidia's China revenue has fallen to 5% of total sales, and the ban suggests the company's export-compliant strategy has failed at both ends—Washington restricts high-end chips while Beijing blocks lower-end alternatives.
