Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is set to visit China in late January coinciding with the company's efforts to resume shipments to the country. While the U.S. now allows export of some AMD and Nvidia AI GPUs to China, it's uncertain how many processors the country will consume due to its push for self-sufficiency. Huang's itinerary includes internal events and a potential visit to Beijing, with unclear plans to meet with Chinese officials. Nvidia is aiming to negotiate the import of H200 GPUs to China, with potential authorization for selected commercial use cases expected this quarter. Huang's trip may involve discussions to secure shipments worth billions of dollars, navigating restrictions on where the H200 can be deployed in China.
