US Approves Some Chinese Firms for AI Chips as Nvidia Tightens Asia Buyer Compliance
US regulators have approved several Chinese firms, including ZTE Kangxun Telecom and Maginfra, to purchase advanced AI chips like Nvidia's H200 and AMD processors, expanding access beyond major internet companies. Meanwhile, Nvidia has tightened compliance in Asia by halving its authorized buyers after stricter checks in countries such as Singapore and Malaysia to prevent chip exports to China amid US efforts to restrict advanced technology transfers. These measures reflect ongoing US-China tech tensions and regulatory scrutiny.
