Ex-White House Asia advisor on Nvidia selling to China; calls Trump-era logic a ‘fantasy’

Former Trump advisor Matt Pottinger has slammed the administration’s approval of Nvidia H200 AI chip sales to China, warning it could “supercharge” Beijing’s military. Critics argue this undermines the US AI race, while the administration claims it discourages Chinese competitors. New Chinese regulations now require chip reviews and limit import volumes, demanding assurances against military use.
