A "windfall to China?" Jensen Huang seems to have been conspiring with Alice Huang to illegally sell high-end NVIDIA chips to China. That's a windfall to China.

Sure is convenient for everyone to spend all their time talking about the CEOs personal life than however many billions of prohibited sales have been happening here.

It's absolutely amazing.

I can't believe everyone is not focusing on that part of the story, and the stories just can't seem to rise to the top of the page for one of the biggest tech stories in years.

China have billions of $ of GPUs sitting on the dock because their government capped imports of nvidia.

There is not going to be a stop of chips going into China.

If not exporting to Singapore, it will be exported to more countries that have more opaque business practices.

Kneecapping Nvidia in this case is absolutely a windfall to China, by allowing them time to catch up in semiconductor technologies

This, right here. I'm no fan of the "CEO as god" line of thinking but given the past few years there's a strong indication that having him as CEO is going to produce a better outcome than the opposite case.

Pedantically: it's not a windfall if they specifically brought it about.

China has a stated government policy they don't want Nvidia chips and you aren't allowed to import them.
