Reuters reported that the U.S. government is actively considering authorising the export of Nvidia’s H200 chips to China, according to sources familiar with the matter. Reuters+1
The potential policy change comes as the U.S. and China navigate a broader détente in their tech and trade relationship. The H200 chips, which deliver twice the high-bandwidth memory of the H20 version currently allowed for export, are barred under existing restrictions due to national-security concerns. Critics warn such a change could enhance China’s military-AI capabilities. If approved, the move could give Nvidia access to China’s vast AI market and reshape the global semiconductor balance.
