Breaking News: Trump has agreed to sell high-end NVIDIA chips to China.
Trump wrote on his post this morning (December 9th in Beijing Time): "I have informed China that the United States will allow NVIDIA to deliver its H200 products to qualified customers in China and other countries, provided that national security is continuously ensured. China has given a positive response! 25% of the revenue will be paid to the United States. This policy will support American jobs, strengthen American manufacturing, and benefit American taxpayers. The Biden administration forced our great companies to spend billions of dollars producing 'degraded' products that no one wanted. It was a bad idea, which hindered innovation and harmed American workers. That era is over! We will protect national security, create American jobs, and maintain America's leadership in the field of artificial intelligence. American customers of NVIDIA have already started using its outstanding and highly advanced Blackwell chips, and the Rubin chip will also be launched soon. These two chips are not included in this transaction. My government will always put America first. The Department of Commerce is finalizing the details, and the same principle will apply to AMD, Intel, and other great American companies. Make America Great Again!"
[Witty] Comment: For Trump's unilateral statement, we still need to wait for the official response from China. Trump's statement appears to be a victory declaration under the banner of "Make America Great Again," but it is actually just an act of bravado, concealing concessions as a political maneuver. His approval of NVIDIA selling chips to China, and his mention of 25% revenue going to the United States, is more about gaining political capital and embellishing his policies.
