Washington, Dec 9 (V7N) – The United States has announced approval for tech giant Nvidia to export its high-performance AI chip, the ‘H-200’, to China. US President Donald Trump confirmed that a decision has been made to allow the export of the H-200 processor, Nvidia’s second-most powerful AI chip, which is in high global demand.

The issue of exporting advanced AI chips to China has been under discussion for some time. US policymakers have weighed whether continuing sales would help American companies stay ahead in the global technology race or whether restricting exports would better safeguard national security.

Analysts consider Trump’s decision a positive step for the US tech industry, as AI chip exports are highly profitable. However, concerns remain over national security, given China’s significant advancements in AI technology in recent years. Experts warn that if such advanced technology falls into Chinese hands, it could have strategic implications for the US.

Meanwhile, Beijing has already advised its companies to limit reliance on US technology, leaving the impact of Trump’s decision on future chip sales uncertain.
