Nvidia H200 Chip Exports to China Remain Limited
A senior U.S. government official, Jeffrey Kessler, the under secretary of commerce for industry and security, testified before a U.S. House committee on 14 July 2026 that Nvidia Corp has initiated shipments of its H200 artificial‑intelligence chip to China and Hong Kong, but the volumes are described as "very few" units. The official emphasized that while shipments have started, the quantity remains minimal.
In May 2026, the U.S. Commerce Department granted export licences to approximately ten Chinese companies, permitting them to purchase Nvidia's H200 chip, which is the company's second‑most powerful AI processor. At the time of the licence authorisation, no deliveries to those firms had taken place.
Following the congressional briefing, Nvidia's share price increased by 2.14%, indicating a modest positive market response despite the constrained export activity.
