Nvidia's B300 servers are priced at 7 million yuan ($1 million) in China versus $500k in the US. The markup reflects supply constraints rather than speculation—Chinese enterprises and state-backed AI initiatives face genuine bottlenecks while US companies access inventory more freely. The pricing gap is economically rational but geopolitically revealing: export controls and semiconductor nationalism are creating parallel markets where Chinese buyers absorb premium costs to secure foundational AI infrastructure. The 75% spread won't narrow until Chinese domestic chip manufacturers compete on performance or US restrictions ease. It is a structural feature of bifurcated global AI development, not a temporary arbitrage opportunity.
