NVIDIA has confirmed to VOA that it will increase capacity for its U.S. and Chinese customers
The U.S. tech giant NVIDIA has informed its U.S. and Chinese customers that the company is adjusting the capacity of its advanced H200 AI chips to ensure that there will be no supply disruptions once the order volume in China exceeds the current production capacity.
A NVIDIA spokesperson said on Monday, December 15, in a written response to VOA: "We are managing our supply chain to ensure that selling H200 chips to authorized customers in China within the permitted scope does not affect our ability to supply U.S. customers."
Previously, President Donald Trump stated last Tuesday that he had authorized NVIDIA to sell its advanced H200 computer chips to certain Chinese customers, with the U.S. government collecting a 25% fee on such sales.
President Trump announced this move on the social media platform "Truth Social." He wrote, "I have informed China that the United States will allow NVIDIA to deliver its H200 products to approved customers in China and other countries, provided that national security is adequately protected. China responded positively! 25% of the revenue will go to the United States. This policy will support American jobs, strengthen American manufacturing, and benefit American taxpayers."
This approval is the latest initiative in a creative deal between President Trump and private companies that generates revenue for the U.S. government. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang had previously advocated for authorizing chip exports to China.
NVIDIA is the world's most valuable company, with a market value of $4 trillion, and its chips are highly sought-after geopolitical tools. The H200 is more powerful than the H20 chips that NVIDIA was previously allowed to sell, but it is not as powerful as the company's top Blackwell series or the Rubin chips planned for production in 2026.
