According to the Global Times, on December 9, Gao Jikun, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, held a regular press conference.
A reporter from Bloomberg asked: President Trump said he would approve the sale of NVIDIA's H200 AI chips to China. Will China allow the purchase of these H200 chips? Also, when will Trump inform China about this decision? Have the leaders of China and the United States communicated by phone?
In response, Gao Jikun stated: "We have noted the relevant reports. China has always advocated that China and the United States achieve mutual benefits and win-win results through cooperation."
Trump said on the 8th that the United States would allow NVIDIA to sell H200 AI chips to "approved customers" in China, with 25% of the chip sales revenue being paid to the U.S. government.
Trump wrote that this move would create jobs and maintain the United States' leading position in the field of artificial intelligence. The U.S. Department of Commerce is finalizing the details, and the same approach will also apply to Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Intel, and other U.S. companies.
It is reported that the performance of the H200 chip is higher than that of the H20, but it is not NVIDIA's current top product.
