China banned Nvidia 5090D V2 while CEO Jensen Huang was in town, report claims — move comes as Beijing pushes its AI tech companies to use homegrown chips

Jensen Huang in China.

China reportedly banned Nvidia's RTX 5090D V2, an export-friendly version of its top-end RTX 5090 GPU, while CEO Jensen Huang was visiting the country as part of President Donald Trump's state visit last week, the Financial Times reports.
