House China Panel to query Commerce Dept on Nvidia H20 chip China sales
US technology giant Nvidia has announced the resumption of sales of its high-end artificial intelligence (AI) chips to China, following a ban imposed by the US government in April. The move comes as trade tensions between Beijing and Washington have been easing, with both governments agreeing a temporary truce in their tariffs war.Nvidia's chief executive, Jensen Huang, has been lobbying for the resumption of sales, meeting with officials from both the US and Chinese governments. The company has long viewed China as a crucial market, with the country ranking among its top buyers globally. The H20 chip, developed specifically for the Chinese market, was initially introduced to comply with US regulations while serving demand from Chinese cloud service providers and AI firms [1].
The House China Panel has announced plans to query the Commerce Department regarding Nvidia's H20 chip sales to China. The panel aims to understand the implications of the resumption of sales on national security and the AI race between the US and China.
Nvidia's recent announcement has been met with mixed reactions. While some view it as a significant policy shift that could help Nvidia regain momentum in China's AI infrastructure market, others raise concerns about the potential misuse of the technology by the Chinese military.
The resumption of sales comes as Beijing has relaxed trade controls on rare earth exports and the US has lifted restrictions on chip design software firms operating in China. Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, delivered a speech at the third China International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing, marking his third visit to China this year. In his speech, Huang emphasized the importance of open collaboration in AI development and the role of China in the global AI ecosystem [2].
