US EditionUS Approves Nvidia H200 AI Chip Exports to China
The U.S. permits Nvidia to export H200 AI chips to China under conditions including third-party testing, use limits, and a 25% fee, amid national security concerns.
- On Jan 13, the Trump administration formally authorized exports of Nvidia's H200 chip to China, requiring third‑party testing and capping shipments at 50% of chips sold to U.S. customers.
- After a Biden-era ban, the administration argued controlled exports deter rivals like Huawei, following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement last month allowing sales with a 25% fee, led by White House AI czar David Sacks.
- Nvidia must certify there are enough H200s in the U.S., Chinese customers must show `sufficient security procedures` and agree not to use the chips for military purposes, and the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security said the policy covers H200 and less advanced processors.
- Amid immediate criticism, the decision drew fire from China hawks in Washington, Beijing ordered Chinese tech companies to boycott Nvidia's chips, and observers question shipment limits and domestic sales.
- In the broader AI race, Nvidia is caught at the center of a geopolitical tug-of-war between the U.S. and China, with some U.S. officials warning the chips could aid Beijing's military and erode U.S. advantage.
