The United States has approved exports of Nvidia’s advanced H200 artificial intelligence chips to several major Chinese technology firms, including Alibaba, Tencent and ByteDance, even as US President Donald Trump held high-stakes talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, Reuters reported on Thursday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
According to a report, around 10 Chinese firms have received approval from the US Commerce Department to buy Nvidia’s H200 chips, the company’s second-most-powerful AI semiconductor currently allowed for export to China. However, no deliveries have taken place yet, with the deals remaining stalled amid mounting political and regulatory scrutiny on both sides.
