But inside the country, the company is obsessed over catching up to DeepSeek on its development of AI models, and catching up to Huawei on the chips that power them, News.az reports, citing Reuters.

When Alibaba’s chip design unit T-Head unveiled its latest AI chip, the Zhenwu M890, last week, it also outlined a multi-year chip roadmap showing how the M890’s future successors would deliver massive performance gains in the next few years. Less than a year ago, Huawei had laid out a similar timeline that ran until 2028.
Unlike Huawei, Alibaba has not been targeted by U.S. sanctions, nor has it made its AI chip push as explicitly about beating Nvidia as the Shenzhen-based conglomerate has. But its decision to chase Huawei highlights the huge business opportunity presented by Beijing’s push to replace Nvidia.
IDC data reviewed by Reuters last month point to a Chinese AI chip market benefiting from Nvidia’s retreat, but where Huawei’s dominance is far from secure. Nvidia shipped 2.2 million AI accelerators to China in 2025, a 55% market share that rebuts Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s talking point that this figure was zero after U.S. export controls wiped out a near-monopoly held by the California-based chipmaker.
Whatever the real size of the void left by Nvidia, Alibaba and other domestic companies are not ready to hand it over to Huawei. Of the 1.65 million chips shipped by Chinese vendors in 2025, 812,000 came from Huawei, while Alibaba claimed second place, shipping around 265,000. Several other tech giants and startups are eyeing Huawei’s half of the pie.
As China nudges its AI industry to a post-Nvidia era, Huawei will face more competition. Besides Alibaba, ByteDance and Tencent have the resources to mount a serious challenge. DeepSeek’s unquestionable lead among Chinese AI models lasted less than a year. Huawei might only have a few more.
In this week’s issue, we look at how Chinese chipmakers are trying to displace Nvidia from their country while searching for alternative chipmaking processes and theories to neutralise U.S. sanctions.

The mixed martial arts arena is being assembled on a stretch of the grounds used for presidents’ Marine One departures and annual Easter egg rolls and picnics, alongside tennis and basketball courts, a horseshoe pit and a garden honoring presidents’ children and grandchildren, News.az reports, citing Reuters.

UFC, the professional mixed martial arts league run by Trump ally Dana White, will stage a night of bouts at the executive mansion on June 14 as part of the country’s independence celebrations. The event will coincide with Trump’s 80th birthday.
Four pieces of giant metal scaffolding now rise in front of the White House, looming over the Truman Balcony, a columned terrace overlooking the South Lawn. Video screens will be suspended from them.
“The octagon,” the eight-sided metal cage in which combatants punch, kick, elbow and grapple, will sit inside, ringed with a chain-link fence. White has dubbed the arena “The Claw,” he said in an interview with the New Yorker magazine.
More than 4,000 spectators will watch the fight from the arena, Trump and White have said, with many tickets going to military personnel. Officials are also planning viewing areas on the Ellipse, a 52-acre park south of the White House, with aims to accommodate an additional 100,000. Weigh-ins will be held at the Lincoln Memorial.
Trump, who plans to watch the bouts ringside, was an early backer of UFC when White took over the professional circuit in 2001. Trump allowed White to use his casino properties to host events when the fights were largely unregulated and, in some quarters, seen as seedy and unethical.
The late Arizona Republican Senator John McCain, a U.S. war hero and amateur boxer, derided the contests as “human cockfighting.”
His opposition, amplified by his influence in Congress, pushed UFC to seek state regulatory approval and build broader legitimacy in the early 2000s. In August 2025, it signed a $7.7 billion media rights deal with Paramount (PSKY.O), opens new tab.
The White House complex is already home to another major construction project: Trump’s $400 million state ballroom that opponents have criticized as a vanity project but which the president says is needed for national security.
The MMA arena and the new ballroom are just two of the projects Trump has launched since returning to the White House in January 2025.
He has also ordered the renovation of Lafayette Square, a public park on the north side of the White House, and repainting the Reflecting Pool between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. He is also planning to build what he calls Independence Arch, reminiscent of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, except much bigger.
