US says Nvidia’s H200 exports to China remain ‘trivial’ despite approvals

American chipmaker Nvidia has shipped “very few” H200 Artificial Intelligence (AI) chips to mainland China and Hong Kong, a top Trump administration official told lawmakers on Tuesday, marking the first deliveries since the United States approved such sales.US President Donald Trump cleared the sale of Nvidia’s H200 chips to China in December, with the Commerce Department approving around 10 Chinese firms to purchase the powerful AI processors this year, including Tencent and ByteDance.“For the American people, the bottom line is very few shipments against licenses for H200s and equivalents have taken place,” said Jeffrey Kessler, the US Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security, at the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing.
