Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to Visit China Amid Market Reopening Efforts

  • Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang plans to visit China in late January for company parties ahead of Lunar New Year and to potentially meet officials.
  • The visit comes as the US loosens export restrictions on AI processors, allowing Nvidia to sell its H200 model in China.
  • China plans to approve H200 imports for certain uses, but will bar the chip from military, sensitive government agencies, and state-owned enterprises due to security concerns.
  • The H200, though a generation behind US models, is still considered more powerful than current Chinese offerings.
  • US lawmakers express concern over China's access to advanced AI chips, with Representative Brian Mast accusing Huang of selling to Chinese military companies.

Why It Matters: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's China visit aims to reopen a crucial market for AI chips amidst US export changes.
