US–China chip rift: White House AI czar flags rejection of US chips; Nvidia blames overbroad export controls

China is reportedly rejecting US-made Nvidia H200 AI chips, favouring domestic alternatives. This move challenges a US strategy to gain market share with less advanced exports. Beijing is also reportedly offering substantial incentives to boost its local chip industry, aiming for greater semiconductor independence and reducing reliance on foreign suppliers.
