Still useful. Especially if Chinese GPUs operating on Nvidia software become performant and accessible, thereby undercutting the price gouging that we're seeing with western chips.

The big issue will be access (Re: BYD)

one good thing about it is that GPUs don't have to be near you, so as long as they're able to be deployed somewhere, they'll be accessible

Access here means being allowed to participate in the market. BYD doesn't have a problem shipping cars, it has a problem of being allowed to sell them.

People will need compute. And if the Chinese economy can transition into providing not only factory output but cheap compute, then yes - the future is indeed theirs. Every single country on this planet will need compute.

so who is going to block sales of Chinese chips aside from the US?

I'm betting many countries will allow companies to buy and deploy them in their countries
