China’s Largest Retailer, JD, Is Selling Banned NVIDIA RTX 5090 & RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs, But These Are Definitely Smuggled

JD briefly listed banned NVIDIA RTX 5090 and RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs through a third-party storefront in China.

The pages were quickly removed, suggesting the cards were likely being offered via unofficial supply channels.

The incident shows how restricted NVIDIA hardware can still surface in China despite sanctions and export controls.

It comes as U.S. policy on AI chip exports is reportedly easing for select Chinese buyers, including access to older H200 chips.
