The story maybe untrue but China officially use Linux as default on all government institutions (that is almost all institutions and corporations there is government owned), and to connect Nvidia last updated Linux driver before Fermi went into being and will never support Linux anymore officially, other reason behind is the architecture itself cannot support it so. (See wikipedia about it) They pass the burden to third party group to make it. Nvidia never release an opensource driver for Linux unlike the competitor and that adds up the burden to the buyer if they are Linux based.
