Reportedly secured approval to sell H200 chips to 10 Chinese firms during Trump's Beijing trip
40% confidenceJensen Huang reportedly secured US approval for NVIDIA to sell H200 AI chips to 10 Chinese companies, including Alibaba, JD.com, ByteDance and Lenovo, during President Trump's China trip, though Beijing's own approval and Chinese customs' willingness to admit the chips remained unresolved.
Reported as a Reuters exclusive citing sources; the deal was not confirmed as finalized since Chinese government approval remained outstanding, and Huang himself publicly told investors to 'expect nothing' on near-term China approvals.
