Reuters, citing a Sunday report from The Information, said the Chinese government has signaled it may allow some domestic companies, including ByteDance and Alibaba, to purchase Nvidia’s RTX PRO 5500 chips, which are designed for high-end professional computing. According to The Information, which cited two people familiar with the matter, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently asked companies including ByteDance and Alibaba to submit plans for buying the chips and told some firms that the government intended to approve those purchases. The report added that some industry executives expect the RTX PRO 5500 to avoid U.S. export restrictions. Reuters said it could not immediately verify the report independently. Nvidia said U.S. companies remain constrained by outdated U.S. export controls as well as Chinese restrictions on imports from the United States. Alibaba and ByteDance did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and Reuters said it was also unable to immediately reach the Chinese government.
