Reportedly secured approval to sell H200 chips to 10 Chinese firms during Trump's Beijing trip

40% confidence

Jensen 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.

Jensen Huang's Timeline

A sourced, dated history of Jensen Huang's key moments — founding to present.

  1. Jul 2026 · Joins X, publishes open letter on open-weight AI; defends Chinese open models

    Huang created an X account for the first time, using his debut post to share a July 24, 2026 open letter (co-signed by NVIDIA and other tech firms) advocating for open-weight AI models as vital to American AI leadership; days earlier he told Axios that Chinese open-source models from DeepSeek, Alibaba and Moonshot AI are 'excellent' and should not be banned, and on July 25 said the AI chip boom has years left to run, with the industry needing to expand fivefold to tenfold over the next decade.

  2. Aug 2026 · Dismisses AI-bubble concerns; projects semiconductor industry could reach $7.9T

    Ahead of NVIDIA's August 26, 2026 earnings call, Huang pushed back on AI-bubble concerns, arguing AI is 'incredibly profitable' and that he is happy to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for it, and projected the semiconductor industry could grow to $7.9 trillion to support the agentic AI boom; he separately argued AI-driven infrastructure buildout could create lucrative opportunities for electricians, plumbers and other skilled trades, and said AI computing will eventually need '1,000 times more' energy than currently available.

  3. Aug 2026 · Nvidia beats on Q2 FY27 earnings, forecasts 70% FY28 revenue growth; backstops up to $125B of $500B AI financing plan

    NVIDIA reported fiscal Q2 2027 revenue of $96.2 billion and EPS of $2.22 (both beating consensus), with Huang forecasting roughly 70% revenue growth in fiscal 2028; he also disclosed NVIDIA has the option to backstop up to $125 billion (25%) of a $500 billion-plus AI infrastructure financing initiative organized with Wall Street asset managers including BlackRock, Blackstone, Apollo, KKR, Brookfield and Goldman Sachs, and defended NVIDIA's growing financial support for the AI ecosystem, saying 'the risk is low.' Shares jumped roughly 9% on the results, and Huang passed Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Ellison to become the world's sixth-richest person.
