"The Trump administration placed new security requirements on Nividia's semiconductor sales to China, but essentially greenlighted the export of its powerful H200 artificial intelligence chips to Chinese buyers. Nvidia must ensure that there is an adequate supply in the U.S., and the H200 chips must undergo a third-party review before being exported to China, according to new rules set by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security. But the new rules lower the bar for exports. China won't be allowed to use the chips for military purposes and is not allowed to import more than 50% of the chips sold to U.S. customers."
"We applaud President Trump's decision to allow America's chip industry to compete to support high paying jobs and manufacturing in America, Nvidia told The Associated Press in a prepared statement Wednesday. Offering H200 to approved commercial customers, vetted by the Department of Commerce, strikes a thoughtful balance that is great for America. The new Commerce rules arrive just over a month after President Donald Trump said he'd allow Nvidia to sell the H200 to approved customers in China."
The U.S. Commerce Department set new rules allowing limited export of Nvidia H200 AI chips to approved Chinese commercial customers while imposing security conditions. The rules require Nvidia to ensure adequate domestic supply and mandate third-party reviews before shipments to China. Exports are restricted by prohibiting military use and capping Chinese imports at no more than 50% of chips sold to U.S. customers. Nvidia praised the decision as supportive of American jobs and manufacturing. More advanced Nvidia chips, Blackwell and the upcoming Rubin, remain excluded from approval. Some U.S. lawmakers expressed concern about national security and China’s AI advancement.
