U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren has harshly criticized the Trump administration’s decision to allow Nvidia to resume shipments of advanced AI processors to China, warning that the U.S. government’s actions could increase consumer prices and give China an advantage in the field of artificial intelligence. In a post shared on social media platform
Jensen Huang confirmed that the company has started receiving new orders from China.
As reported by CNBC, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said the company is currently preparing to resume sales of its H200 processors in China, marking a pivot after months of uncertainty. “The purchase order has been received and we are restarting production,” Huang told reporters at the GTC conference in San Jose. He added that Nvidia could get permission from both U.S. and Chinese authorities to “activate” its supply chain again.The latest information from Nvidia comes weeks after CFO Colette Kress told analysts that the company is “not yet generating revenue” from its H200 chips in China, despite limited approvals. China once accounted for at least a fifth of Nvidia’s data center revenue, but sales were halted last year when the Trump administration demanded permission to export advanced chips. Nvidia was charged $5.5 billion due to this restriction.To comply with U.S. regulations, Nvidia initially developed a lower-performance chip, the H20, for the Chinese market. But in December, US President Donald Trump allowed the more advanced H200 to ship on the condition that the US government receives 25% of sales. Even with that approval, shipments have been delayed until now due to safety reviews by both countries.
