US Greenlights, China Blocks Nvidia H200 China Deal
Despite recent diplomatic discussions, U.S. chip exports to China remain stalled. While Nvidia received initial authorization for H200 sales, China’s domestic directives prevent delivery, favoring indigenous development. Beijing mandates that licensed chips be used overseas, contradicting U.S. export rules requiring domestic use. This deadlock benefits Huawei and domestic GPU manufacturers, as Chinese AI firms prioritize local hardware, signaling a strategic shift away from U.S. reliance.
