Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Casts Doubt on China’s Approval of H200 AI Chips Amid U.S. Export Restrictions
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang expressed skepticism about China's willingness to approve the company's H200 AI chips, even if the U.S. government eases export controls. Huang's comments followed a meeting with President Donald Trump, where he emphasized the uncertainty surrounding Chinese regulatory approval. "We don’t know. We have no clue," Huang stated, underscoring the geopolitical tensions complicating Nvidia's $50 billion opportunity in the Chinese market.
Senator Elizabeth Warren warned that selling the H200 to China could bolster its military capabilities and erode U.S. technological dominance. The chips, if downgraded to comply with export limits, WOULD likely be rejected by Chinese buyers. Huang remains committed to navigating these challenges, but the path forward hinges on volatile U.S.-China trade dynamics.
