Nvidia chip export: Trump allows H200 chip for China; why it may be too late
US President Trump has approved Nvidia's H200 AI chip exports to China, reversing a Biden-era ban. However, Beijing reportedly plans to restrict access, requiring buyers to justify why domestic alternatives are insufficient. This move aims to bolster China's self-sufficiency in AI semiconductor production, potentially impacting major tech firms like Alibaba and ByteDance.
