Huawei and Nvidia are wrestling in the head-on AI chips battle and looks like Huawei is racing ahead as ByteDance is reportedly planning to order around $5.7 billion worth Ascend processors in 2026! That says Chinese firms are choosing native products over foreign ones amid the increasing China-US tech tensions.
A new report reveals that ByteDance will place an order for Huawei AI chips in 2026 worth 40 billion yuan ($5.7 billion). It is seemingly picking Huawei over Nvidia.
ByteDance is a Chinese multinational internet technology company that owns platforms like TikTok. It also distributes entertainment and news apps globally.
The news has emerged at a time when the US has shown a green light to Nvidia H200 sales in China. Perhaps Chinese clients are now heading towards the native tech products, shattering the dreams of both Nvidia and the US.
Interestingly, ByteDance’s order for Ascend AI chips is expected to cross 40 billion yuan, which was almost zero this year. While it was in rumors of inspecting the sample of certain Huawei semiconductors, it didn’t order them.
Report further reveals that ByteDance is about to receive the first batch of Huawei AI chips worth tens of billions of yuan. The Chinese OEM’s total large-scale increase in the procurement of local computing power is driven by two factors:
- Computing power gap that emerged after the restriction on Nvidia’s H20 supply in April 2025
- Explosive growth in the number of Tokens calls for its cloud computing business and AI application.
Thus, ByteDance has now begun accelerating its in-depth cooperation with Huawei. Moreover, China still believes that Nvidia has risky chips that can spy on the country’s data and can be harmful to consumers’ data privacy.
It would be worth seeing how far the new move will take Huawei and China to grow amid the growing chip challenges.
