Chinese AI-Chip Crackdown: Foreign Chips Banned in State Data Centres

Chinese AI-Chip Crackdown: Foreign Chips Banned in State Data Centres
China has banned foreign AI chips from state-funded data-centre projects, according to sources. New guidance requires that state-supported data centres use only domestically manufactured AI chips. Projects less than 30% complete must eliminate foreign chip use, while more advanced ones will be evaluated case by case. 
The move is part of Beijing’s broader push for technological self-reliance, and is expected to impact global players like Nvidia and AMD.
