Nvidia H200 AI Chip Sales to China Stalled Amid Export Controls and DeepSeek Model Access Shift

U.S. officials confirm that Nvidia's advanced H200 AI chips have not yet been sold to Chinese customers despite eased export restrictions under the Trump administration. Shipments remain stalled due to regulatory conditions and enforcement measures against chip smuggling. Meanwhile, Chinese AI firm DeepSeek is withholding its latest model from U.S. chipmakers Nvidia and AMD, instead granting early access to domestic suppliers like Huawei, reflecting broader tensions in technology sharing and competition between the U.S. and China.
