The US government has authorized Nvidia to sell its H200 AI accelerator to China, reversing or relaxing prior export controls that had restricted access to advanced AI chips. Jensen Huang had lobbied for months for this authorization, arguing that the restrictions were costing US companies market share in the world's largest chip market and strategic positioning. The move restores Nvidia's ability to access Chinese demand and helps sustain its market valuation. The announcement signals a significant shift in the application or enforcement of AI-related export controls, which had been presented as strategic policy tools to limit adversary capability.
