US approves Nvidia H200 chip deliveries to China
The US government has granted licenses for the sale of Nvidia's H200 AI chips to Chinese companies, including ZTE. A US official confirmed that deliveries have already begun.
Both raw reports come from the independent agency Reuters and cover two facets of the same development. In an exclusive report, Reuters shows on the basis of documents that Chinese companies, including the telecom group ZTE, have received licenses to purchase Nvidia's H200 chips. A second report quotes a US official confirming that deliveries of the H200 chips to China have already begun. Since both sources are the same news agency, a contrasting perspective is missing: neither a Chinese framing as a sign of détente nor a US national security critique of the loosening of export controls is present. The granted approval and the started shipment are treated as fact; the strategic assessment of whether this represents an opening or a security risk remains open in the raw reports.
