Nvidia has commenced the shipment of its cutting-edge H200 AI chips to China, following the approval of select US exports earlier this year. This cautious release reflects the US's attempt to navigate the delicate balance between maintaining national security and fostering economic interests, amidst the backdrop of international competition. Officials indicate that the volume of these chips being exported remains extremely limited.

US officials approve Nvidia H200 chip sales to Alibaba, Tencent, ByteDance and others, but actual shipments have yet to cross the border.

The remark is a sign that H200 shipments to China have restarted, potentially boosting Nvidia's sales even higher.
