Also, the CEO is from Taiwan, so there could be some actual politics involved, seeing as CN regards TW as their "renegade" province.

That has nothing to do with it. Why would China even meet with Nvidia if their CEO being Taiwanese was an issue? There are tons of Taiwanese companies manufacturing in China and China has interests in Taiwan as well.

Assuming that this story is true (since it's based off "Rumors out of Beijing").

I'm just speculating. I'm not making a stament of fact. However, it's not out of the question that CN cares about the politics of the people who deal with CN.
