China's government is reportedly considering allowing domestic companies like ByteDance and Alibaba to purchase Nvidia's new chip for high-end professional computers, according to The Information.
The Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has informed some companies that the government intends to approve the purchases, although Reuters could not immediately verify this information.
