U.S. Weighs Allowing Nvidia H200 Chip Exports to China

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.
