America imposed a 25% tax on China and mentioned a ban on Nvidia's new chip (H200).
Only 48 hours later, China responded firmly.
China has established a new rule:
Now, any company in China wishing to purchase American chips must prove to the government that:
"Huawei's chips cannot meet our needs"
In other words, justification will be required.
This is not a tax — rather, it is a system of official permits.
Timeline:
December 8: Trump announced a 25% tax
December 9: China started imposing strict conditions on buyers
Who suffers from this?
Nvidia earned 12 billion dollars from China last year
Now this revenue could stop because China will not allow the purchase of American chips without permission
This will strengthen Huawei's chips further
Chinese companies will find out where local chips are weak — and they will improve them
Big picture:
America wanted China to continue buying old American chips.
China has turned the pressure back on America.
Now there are two paths:
Trump withdraws the decision
American chips will only enter China through bureaucracy and permits
Result:
The technology cold war has intensified again.
China has clearly stated: “We will not pay taxes, we will forge our own path.”
