>> China and wanted to undermine NVIDIA
Jensen is a friend to China and has been relentless in promoting the interests of China - why would Chairman Xi want to undermine the man who advocates strongly to sell him GPUs and chips?

But it is still a great point.
Xi and Huang appear to be strongly and consistently aligned with respect to Chinese access to SOTA nVidia, each with their own natural motivations (no need for any conspiracy here).
Strong strategic alignment, even without conspiracy, is highly likely to result in independent uncoordinated acts of cooperation. Interesting dynamics can result. Any actor (national, international or "smaller") with interests in the technology competition will be watching this space closely. And some will act, for their own reasons.
