China planning to green-light Nvidia chip salesBloombergChina plans to approve some imports of Nvidia Corp’s H200 chips as soon as this quarter, people familiar with the situation said, giving the company access to a critical market. Chinese officials are preparing to allow local companies to buy the chips from Nvidia for select commercial use, the people said. However, the H200 chip would be barred from the military, sensitive government agencies, critical infrastructure and state-owned enterprises due to security concerns, they said. China is the world’s largest market for semiconductors, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) has said that the artificial intelligence (AI) chip market alone could generate US$50 billion in the coming years. The H200 is an older-generation chip that the US President Donald Trump’s administration has said can be exported to China.
