On Tuesday, Reuters disclosed, citing individuals with inside knowledge of the situation, that China has granted approval for the importation of the inaugural batch of NVIDIA H200 artificial intelligence chips, with the quantity reaching several hundred thousand units. This strategic decision is geared towards fulfilling the nation's domestic requirements for high-performance computing capabilities, all the while fostering a balanced growth trajectory for the indigenous chip sector. The authorization was conferred during NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang's recent sojourn to China, and the initial consignment of chips is slated to be predominantly distributed among three prominent Chinese internet behemoths.
