Nvidia CEO Warns China May Reject US-Made AI Chips Amid Export Control Tensions
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang signaled potential roadblocks for the company’s H200 AI chips in China, telling reporters after a White House meeting with former President Donald TRUMP that Chinese regulators may reject the processors if modified to comply with U.S. export controls. "We can’t degrade chips that we sell to China," Huang said. "They won’t accept that." The H200, capable of training advanced AI models, sits at the center of geopolitical tech tensions.
The remarks followed closed-door discussions on export rules, including a Senate Banking Committee meeting where Huang emphasized the dilemma: downgrading chips to meet restrictions renders them commercially unviable. Trump offered no clear stance on potential policy changes but praised Huang’s leadership during the Oval Office encounter.
