China’s Plan
According to the Financial Times report, the Chinese government plans to limit usage of Nvidia’s powerful H200 chips, designed for heavy-duty AI processing, on its soil.
On Monday, President Donald Trump said that the U.S. will allow Nvidia to ship its H200 chips to “approved customers” in China and other countries. Trump said the chips could be exported only if “strong national security” is maintained, and he suggested that the U.S. government would receive about 25% of the revenue from those chip sales as part of the arrangement.
Nvidia’s stock inched 0.2% higher in Tuesday’s premarket.
