US chip curbs cut Nvidia sales in China as Huawei gains ground
Between January and June 2026, Nvidia sold 678,000 AI chips in China, compared with Huawei's 572,000.
US export controls were linked to a 44% drop in Nvidia's sales, while Huawei's sales rose by more than 100%.
The figures point to a possible boost for China's own AI industry as access to US chips is restricted.
Beijing is now planning limits on AI chip exports, following a similar approach by the United States.
That plan suggests China believes its chips are becoming advanced enough to control sales abroad.
The shift matters because export controls may strengthen a rival's technology industry instead of slowing it.
The account gives no details on when China's proposed limits would take effect.
