NVIDIA's reported B30 launch in China: A turning point in the global tech race?

U.S. chip titan NVIDIA is reportedly preparing to launch its China-specific B30 GPU, custom-built to navigate Washington's tightening AI export restrictions. As geopolitical fault lines deepen, this strategic move could reshape the global semiconductor race and send ripple effects across the tech and innovation landscape. What does this mean for AI development in China? Can U.S. export controls still hold back China's tech momentum? Will tech become the next bargaining chip in China-U.S. diplomacy? In this edition of The Hub, Wang Guan talks to Paul S. Triolo, partner and senior VP for China & Tech Policy Lead from DGA Group; Andy Mok, senior research fellow at the Center for China and Globalization; and Shen Yi, director of the International Research Institute of Global Cyberspace Governance at Fudan University, to discuss China's push for AI self-reliance amid chip shortages and the future of U.S. tech dominance and strategic decoupling. They also explain why Huawei, DeepSeek, and domestic GPU makers are changing the game.
