Nearly 600,000 Nvidia AI Chips Await Shipment to China Amid Import Restrictions
Nearly 600,000 Nvidia H200 AI chips are reportedly stored in Hong Kong awaiting approval for shipment to mainland China, reflecting Beijing's cautious approach to increasing reliance on US technology. While some shipments of smaller quantities have been allowed, large-scale imports remain unapproved amid US export controls restricting China's access to advanced chips. Chinese companies continue to seek these processors through intermediaries, driving up unofficial market prices due to high demand and limited authorized supply.
