Nvidia Has Sold Zero H200s to China, Top US Export Enforcer Says

Nvidia has sold no H200 AI chips to China since the U.S. eased export restrictions two months ago, per a top export enforcement official. The H200, Nvidia’s advanced AI processor, remains unavailable to Chinese buyers despite a presidential decision permitting shipments under stricter controls. U.S. export controls continue limiting China’s access to cutting-edge semiconductor technology, maintaining pressure on its AI and quantum computing development. The delay suggests regulatory hurdles or market hesitation persist, even after policy adjustments aimed at balancing trade and national security concerns. This development underscores ongoing tensions in tech trade between the U.S. and China, with AI chips remaining a key battleground.
