  Chinese RAM production is mostly going to end up in Chinese AI datacenters, as per government mandate.

  In 2025, [Chinese] authorities introduced requirements that data centers obtain at least 50% of their chips from domestic manufacturers - and by November that year, state-funded projects reportedly faced additional restrictions that excluded foreign accelerators from facilities still under construction.

    It’s still increasing the supply no matter what, doesn’t matter who’s buying from where. The Chinese datacenters don’t exist in a vacuum right now, they’re depleting the supply for the rest of us.
