Chinese officials are miffed over Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s “insulting” remarks about Nvidia’s H20 computer chip — and are now pressuring domestic firms not to buy it, according to a report Thursday. During a July 15 appearance on CNBC, Lutnick downplayed the Trump administration’s decision to lift an additional set of export controls that would have barred sales of the H20 – a less-powerful version of Nvidia’s chips that was made specifically to comply with US export controls on the sensitive technology. “We don’t sell them our best stuff, not our second-best stuff, not even our third-best,” Lutnick said at the time.
