Nvidia to Resume H20 AI Chip Sales to China Amid US-China Trade Deal

Nvidia announced that the US government has assured it of being granted licenses to resume the sale of its H20 GPUs to clients in China. The company has started filling out applications to sell the NVIDIA H20 GPU again and hopes to resume deliveries soon. This comes amid a preliminary trade deal between the US and China last month, which sought China to resume rare earth exports and the US to relax export curbs. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met with US President Donald Trump and policymakers in Washington last week.

Nvidia (NVDA) has announced that the U.S. government has granted it licenses to resume the sale of its H20 graphics processing unit (GPU) chips to clients in China. The company has started filling out applications to sell the NVIDIA H20 GPU again and expects to resume deliveries soon [1].

This development comes amid a preliminary trade deal between the U.S. and China, which sought China to resume the exports of rare earth and the U.S. to relax its export curbs [2]. The agreement was announced as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met with U.S. President Donald Trump and policymakers in Washington last week [3].

Nvidia had previously halted the sale of its H20 chips in April due to U.S. export controls targeting China. The new model, the RTX Pro GPU, is designed specifically to meet regulatory requirements in the Chinese market and is suitable for digital twin AI applications in sectors such as smart factories and logistics [1].

The move is significant for Nvidia, as China represents an important market. Sales in China accounted for 13% of Nvidia's total revenue last year, down from 17% in the prior fiscal year [3]. The company's stock has been under pressure due to concerns about regulatory headwinds and export restrictions, but the potential resumption of sales to China could provide a boost.
