Not at all surprising. It doesn't matter what Huang says, this would have happened if there were no restrictions on Nvidia/AMD enterprise GPUs sales to China.
I mean yeah, GN did a whole movie on how easily available they are still, both for purchase or modding them to fit your needs. Link below. But yeah, this is pretty normal for China to try and keep cash flow within country. They wouldn’t limit themselves if they hadn’t caught up, but if they have now then it makes sense to try and stop cash flowing out by restricting to their version. Do it with apps and plenty of other things so it’s nothing new. Literally irrelevant that it’s export banned from the US.
