Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is currently visiting China, with stops in Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen planned. The trip coincides with expectations that Beijing will soon permit imports of Nvidia's H200 AI chip, following US approval for export and the imposition of a 25% fee. Huang has already toured Nvidia's Shanghai office and visited a local market. He is expected to attend the company's Lunar New Year celebrations and meet with staff and business partners. The visit is significant as the H200, Nvidia's second most powerful AI chip, awaits regulatory clearance in China amidst a temporary import ban.
