The US government has approved Nvidia’s sale of its H200 advanced AI processors to China, despite prior restrictions due to concerns about giving China’s military a technological edge. This decision comes with the condition that there is sufficient supply of the chips within the US and a 25% fee on sales to approved Chinese customers.

• The H200 is Nvidia’s second-most-advanced semiconductor, while its most advanced Blackwell processor remains blocked from sale in China.
• President Donald Trump previously reversed the chip-selling restriction in July, demanding a cut of Nvidia's earnings from China.
• Chinese embassy spokesman Liu Pengyu stated that Beijing opposes the “politicisation and weaponisation of tech and trade issues.”
