Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang China hasn't approved H200 imports yet — also confirms no new orders placed while Beijing decides

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang provided an update on the H200 chip situation in China, stating that Beijing has not yet approved imports of the chip, leading to no new orders being placed. Huang expressed hope for approval but acknowledged the decision rests with the Chinese government. Despite high demand for the H200 in China, uncertainties persist as officials have given mixed signals on purchasing the chips. The potential approval of H200 imports could benefit Nvidia financially and help maintain its relevance in the Chinese market amidst increasing competition in the semiconductor industry.

China expected to approve H200 imports in early 2026, report claims — tech giants Alibaba and ByteDance reportedly ready to order over 200,000 Nvidia chips each if green-lit by Beijing

China expected to approve H200 imports in early 2026, report claims — tech giants Alibaba and ByteDance reportedly ready to order over 200,000 Nvidia chips each if green-lit by Beijing

China is anticipated to approve the import of Nvidia H200 chips for its tech giants like Alibaba and ByteDance in early 2026, following President Trump's approval for export to China's Asian rival. The approval is expected to come with certain conditions, such as requiring companies to also purchase domestic chips. Despite being a generation behind the latest Blackwell AI GPUs, the H200 remains more powerful than Nvidia's H20 chips and China's current offerings. This move is seen as a significant opportunity for Nvidia to regain market share in China, which had plummeted due to trade tensions and bans on its products. The approval signals a potential thaw in U.S.-China relations and poses a dilemma for China in balancing the need for advanced chips with promoting its local semiconductor industry.
