Given the history of prohibition in the past few centuries, it wouldn't surprise me if it is much easier to buy Nvidia products in China than in the US. The price is much higher most likely, but the actual transaction is likely easier.

In China, you can give them a 4090 and have its ram doubled to 48GB with some soldering and custom firmware, so yeah, pretty much.

Unless the US somehow differs from the EU in some major ways, can't you just walk into a store and buy a NVIDIA GPU? Not sure how much easier it can get. And yes, it's as easy in China too, walk into store, point at GPU, fork over the money, you get your GPU. Like everywhere else, except the US I suppose?
