The customs conflict between the US and China continues to escalate. The United States is taking various measures to prevent unwanted "leakage" of artificial intelligence chips to China. And to secretly detect illegal diversions of chips to China, Americans use tracking devices. This refers to Nvidia and AMD products, and according to new data, the Chinese leadership also warns domestic companies against using artificial intelligence chips from American manufacturers.

Beijing criticized Washington's policy, calling it an attempt to slow down the country's growth. Traders in China are now specifically checking shipments for trackers

It should be noted that China is a key market for Nvidia and AMD, as this region accounts for a significant part of the global demand for chips. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently emphasized the potential losses that exiting the Chinese market could cause.
