Beijing has urged local companies to avoid using Nvidia Corp.’s H20 processors, particularly for government-related purposes, complicating the chipmaker’s return to China after the Trump administration reversed an effective US ban on such sales.Over the past few weeks, Chinese authorities have sent notices to a range of firms discouraging use of the less-advanced semiconductors, people familiar with the matter said. The guidance was particularly strong against the use of H20s for any government or national security-related work by state enterprises or private companies, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is sensitive. Bloomberg’s Ed Ludlow reports.The letters didn’t, however, constitute an outright ban on H20 use, according to the people. Industry analysts broadly agree that Chinese companies still covet those chips, which perform quite well in certain crucial AI applications. President Donald Trump said Monday that the processor “still has a market” in the Asian country despite also calling it “obsolete.” Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. both recently secured Washington’s approval to resume lower-end AI chip sales to China, on the controversial and legally questionable condition that they give the US government a 15% cut of the related revenue. But even with Trump’s team on board, the two companies face the challenge that their Chinese customers are under Beijing’s pressure to purchase domestic chips instead. Beijing’s overall push affects AI accelerators from AMD in addition to Nvidia, one of the people said, though it’s unclear whether any letters specifically mentioned AMD’s MI308 chip. Shares of Chinese AI chip designer Cambricon Technologies Corp. surged to their daily limit of 20% on the news of China’s guidance, leading a rally in peers such as Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.Beijing’s stance could limit Trump’s ability to turn his export control about-face into a windfall for government coffers, a deal that highlighted his administration’s transactional approach to national security policies long treated as nonnegotiable.Still, Chinese companies may not be ready to jump ship to local semiconductors. “Chips from domestic manufacturers are improving dramatically in quality, but they might not be as versatile for specific workloads that China’s domestic AI industry hopes to focus on,” said Homin Lee, a senior macro strategist at Lombard Odier in Singapore. Lee added that he anticipates “strong” demand for the chips the Trump administration is allowing Nvidia and AMD to sell. Rosenblatt Securities analyst Kevin Cassidy said he doesn’t anticipate that Nvidia’s processor sales to China will be affected because “Chinese companies are going to want to use the best chips available.” Nvidia and AMD’s chips are superior to local alternatives, he said.Beijing asked companies about that issue in some of its letters, according to one of the people, posing questions such as why they buy Nvidia H20 chips over local versions, whether that’s a necessary choice given domestic options, and whether they’ve found any security concerns in the Nvidia hardware. The notices coincide with state media reports that cast doubt on the security and reliability of H20 processors. Chinese regulators have raised those concerns directly with Nvidia, which has repeatedly denied that its chips contain such vulnerabilities.The Financial Times reported that some Chinese companies are planning to decrease orders of Nvidia chips in response to the letters.Right now, the people said, China’s most stringent chip guidance is limited to sensitive applications, a situation that bears similarities to the way Beijing restricted Tesla Inc. vehicles and Apple Inc. iPhones in certain institutions and locations over security concerns. China’s government also at one point barred the use of Micron Technology Inc. chips in critical infrastructure.

The United States and China agreed to pause tariff hikes on each other’s goods for an additional 90 days, according to an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Monday. Without the agreement, tariffs were set to immediately surge, risking a return to ultra-high levels that had formed an effective blockade on trade between the world’s two largest economies.

CATL, the world’s largest manufacturer of electric-vehicle batteries, halted operations at a major mine in China, spurring speculation that Beijing might move to suspend other projects as it tackles overcapacity across the economy. The CATL mine is the biggest in China’s lithium hub of Yichun, in Jiangxi province. Bloomberg’s Danny Lee breaks down the situation and what it means for markets.——–

China has built over 98,000 dams, but in just five years, it lost nearly 4,000—along with 80% of its flood-control capacity. Why? These dams prioritize hydropower, fish farming, and tourism over flood prevention. Take Beijing’s Miyun Reservoir: overfilled from the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, it hit record levels before a storm, forcing a massive discharge that caused devastating floods. Built during the Great Leap Forward with poor quality, Miyun now poses a huge risk. Is this a failure of engineering or CCP priorities?

Chinese society is volatile, its economy in freefall, and the human cost staggering. A new mandatory social insurance policy—set to take effect September 1—will force struggling businesses to pay up to half of wages into a system many workers don’t trust. For China’s private sector, already battered by debt, regulatory crackdowns, and collapsing demand, this could be the final blow. In just four months, five top entrepreneurs—from billionaires to industry pioneers—have died by suicide under crushing financial and political pressure. Their deaths reveal a deeper truth: when China’s elite start falling, the system itself may not be far behind.

On July 25, a Chinese drone Yilong-10, flight number 00CA6181, took off from Guangdong and approached the northern airspace of Dongsha Island. It conducted multiple flights within 100 kilometers, performing electronic reconnaissance and signal collection. A BZK-005 drone and a KJ-500 early warning aircraft later joined, forming a coordinated reconnaissance system with electromagnetic suppression intent. This was not a routine patrol but a deliberate military provocation by China, signaling a significant threat.
