China’s Tech Bubble
President Trump permitted Nvidia to sell H200 AI chips to China, but Beijing later banned their orders to prioritize domestic tech.

The country's historical openness in the 1980s fueled growth in sectors like telecommunications, while internet controls created a self-contained digital ecosystem.
