Nvidia announced that the US government has approved sales of its H20 AI chip to China, a departure from strict export controls implemented under previous administrations. The H20 is a performance-degraded variant designed for the Chinese market but represents a material relaxation of the de facto embargo on advanced AI accelerators to China. This signals either a shift in Trump administration trade policy priorities or a temporary window before control frameworks tighten again, and materially affects the addressable revenue calculus for US AI chip vendors in their largest alternative market.
