About 10 firms got approval but none received chips
The US cleared roughly 10 Chinese companies to buy Nvidia’s H200 AI chips, but none have been delivered so far, according to sources familiar with the matter. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is now traveling to China with a trip arranged after President Donald Trump invited him en route to talks with Xi Jinping. Buyers reportedly pulled back after Beijing guidance, while US rules require security safeguards and bans on military use, leaving both sides caught in a tech rivalry.
