A major shift is unfolding in U.S. tech policy.
In this x10 episode of Rethinking Tech, Aparna and Harinda break down how Trump has loosened restrictions on certain Nvidia chip sales to China, allowing exports to resume under a new framework — including a 25% fee paid by Nvidia to the U.S. government on sales made directly to China.
They discuss:
What restrictions are being relaxed — and what remains off-limits
Why Nvidia sits at the center of U.S.–China tech tensions
How fees and controls are being used as policy tools
What this move signals about the future of semiconductor geopolitics
How economic incentives are reshaping national security decisions
This episode explains why chips are no longer just a tech issue — but a bargaining chip in global power politics.
