For more on this, we're 242 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 3: joined by Bloomberg's Critty Gupta Cretty. 243 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: Good morning. 244 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 3: What more do we know about this reported directive from 245 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 3: the Chinese government? 246 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 12: Well, Nathan, good morning. This is an ongoing issue and 247 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 12: one that has been a source of tension between the 248 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 12: United States and China for some time. What we do 249 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 12: know is that theres were letters that were not really 250 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,599 Speaker 12: a directive, but more of guidance by some of the 251 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 12: regulators and the authorities in China towards not only various 252 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 12: government departments that may have a dependence on these kind 253 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 12: of chips, but also smaller businesses as well that may 254 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 12: be looking to grow and grow their dependence specifically on 255 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 12: those American chips. Again, these were letters deployed a couple 256 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 12: of months ago that have now kind of made it 257 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 12: to the surface, but I think it speaks to this 258 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 12: broader point of the US and China, not only the 259 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 12: trade tensions, but also how competitive China can be when 260 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 12: it comes to not only the chip space, but the 261 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 12: AI space as well. And this is something that a 262 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 12: theme that we explored earlier this year with a Deep 263 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 12: Seat conversation. Suddenly the market got very scared of the 264 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 12: idea that actually there could be an alternate offering from China. 265 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 12: And that's exactly where the fear lies when it comes 266 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 12: to these H twenty chips and Nvidia in that if 267 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 12: you start to lower your dependence from China, which is 268 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 12: a major kind of revenue contributor for Nvidia's bottom line, 269 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 12: does that mean China has an alternative And that's really 270 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 12: the question that's circulating at the moment. 271 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: And of course this comes at a time critty when 272 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 3: in Nvidia has openly said they're trying to recoup billions 273 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 3: in revenue that they've lost in the Chinese market. They 274 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 3: are really trying to get back into that market. What 275 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 3: could this mean for in Nvidia and AMD if these 276 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 3: if this guidance goes through for. 277 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 12: Them, well, contest for a global audience. Ninety five percent 278 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 12: of the market is dominated by Nvidia, the other five 279 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 12: percent is about AMD, and the remaining players have a 280 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 12: marginal kind of piece of that pie. What it means 281 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 12: is that on Friday we had heard that Nvidia had 282 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 12: gotten those export line licenses with the caveat of having 283 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 12: to pay the fifteen percent revenues right back to the 284 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 12: US government. So it's very clear that they do need 285 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 12: that exposure, and Jensen Wong has been quite vocal about 286 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 12: his desire to not just be someone that caters to 287 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 12: one market or another, not just catering to the hyperscalers, 288 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 12: the Apples and Microsoft's the kind of biggest tech players 289 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 12: of the world, but really diversifying into a variety of industries, 290 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 12: things like medical equipment, things like smaller companies that really 291 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 12: need to not only use the chips but are able 292 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 12: to kind of help with Nvidia's revenue basis. Well, we 293 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 12: are not there yet, and that's where Nvidia really finds 294 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 12: a little bit of vulnerability when it comes to the 295 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 12: Chinese market. Ultimately the fifteen percent they're going to have 296 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 12: to pay for the US government. I thought another piece 297 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 12: of this is we've been talking about the H twenty chip, 298 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 12: which is kind of a watered down version that has 299 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 12: been specifically created under the Biden administration by the way 300 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 12: to cater to a Chinese customer, but isn't really using 301 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 12: as high tech of the technology for again Chinese military, 302 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 12: Chinese technology, et cetera. And Video's Blackwell chip is the 303 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 12: far superior technology. And now it looks like Donald Trump 304 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 12: is up thinking about how to kind of utilize that 305 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 12: American technology and where it needs to be protected and 306 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 12: where it needs to be deployed. So that's another angle 307 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 12: to be thinking about.
