Nvidia pushes cloud customers to cut back on China business

RumorPolicyNov 3, 2026

Nvidia has told some cloud customers to take on less business from Chinese companies, The Information reports, citing three people familiar with the matter. The guidance is non-mandatory and applies to future contracts, with cloud customers also asked to disclose end users accessing the chips. The move targets a gap in U.S. export controls, as Chinese AI developers can access advanced chips via foreign data centers—a concern raised by allegations involving Moonshot AI, maker of the Kimi chatbot.
