Nvidia (NVDA) is dominating the A.I. landscape, but the geopolitical tightrope walk between the U.S. and China continues to complicate matters.

This move signals a willingness to prioritize business exceptions in the strategic rivalry with China. China stands to gain significant long-term strategic value, accelerating its A.I. development and potentially leading to cheaper, more accessible large language models that could capture greater market share.
