Huawei's Ascend chips have overtaken Nvidia in China's AI chip market, according to a new report. The shift reflects the impact of US export controls that have restricted Nvidia's access to Chinese customers, pushing domestic buyers toward Huawei's homegrown alternatives. Analysts see it as a milestone for China's semiconductor self-sufficiency push, though questions remain about Ascend's performance and production capacity at scale.

Huawei has announced plans for two advanced AI chips slated for 2027, putting Nvidia stock in focus as investors weigh rising Chinese competition in the AI semiconductor market. Traders are watching how Huawei's roadmap could challenge Nvidia's dominance in AI accelerators and what it means for US export restrictions and Nvidia's China business.
