What would stop Nvidia from moving to China to bypass these restrictions or another country that doesn't restrict export and imports like the US does? Their chips are made in Taiwan anyway so they have to be imported to the US anyway. Could move to Japan?
Minimally they'd be unable to do business in US and many other countries who have good relationships with US, including eg Taiwan where NV manufactures chips and Japan that you suggest as a place to relocate to. You essentically need to look at countries US is preventing exports to, that's the list of countries where NV could move to. Not only do they need to move to one of those countries, and manager to bring all their money with them, but also gotta convince >20,000 employees and their families to go too. Its just too obsurd an idea to know where to start.
There are no such thing as an Chinese engineer or scientist.
Inside the "China and friends" -world there is no company capable of manufacturing such high end chips. All manufacturing is in "US and friends" -world. China tries to build high end chip manufacturing, but so far failed totally.
The bypassing happens on its own. As if you couldn’t buy a 4090 in china
A lot of IPs are from the Americans.
