Phoenix Technology News, Beijing Time December 9, according to Bloomberg, U.S. President Trump has approved NVIDIA's export of its H200 AI chips to China, with the condition that the U.S. government can take a 25% share from sales. This move will mark a major lobbying victory for NVIDIA and may allow it to regain billions of dollars in business lost in this key global market.

Trump announced the decision on his Truth Social platform, ending weeks of discussions with his advisers on whether to approve the export of H200 chips to China. He added that sales would be limited to "approved customers" and that the U.S. government would receive a 25% share. Other chip manufacturers, including Intel and AMD, will also be eligible for licenses to sell chips to China.

"We will protect national security, create American jobs, and maintain America's leadership in AI," Trump stated in his post. "NVIDIA's U.S. customers have already deployed their outstanding and extremely advanced Blackwell chips, and will soon deploy Rubin chips, which are not included in this agreement." Rubin is NVIDIA's more advanced chip series.

Before Trump announced the decision, a source said that approving NVIDIA's export of H200 to China was a compromise based on the previous Hopper architecture. Previously, NVIDIA had lobbied the Trump administration to sell its more advanced Blackwell chips to Chinese customers.

For NVIDIA, the approval to sell H200 chips to China is a victory in its efforts to push Trump and Congress to relax export controls. These restrictions have been preventing NVIDIA from selling its AI chips to China, the world's second-largest economy. Since the U.S. election in November 2024, Huang Renxun has built a close relationship with Trump and used this connection to argue that export controls only benefit Chinese domestic giants like Huawei.

As of the time of writing, the U.S. Department of Commerce and NVIDIA have not commented on this. (Author / Xiaoyu)
