US Senator Elizabeth Warren has sharply criticised the decision of the Trump administration to allow Nvidia to resume the shipments of advanced AI processors to China, warning that his move of the US government could raise consumer prices and give China and edge in artificial intelligence.
In a post shared on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) Warren wrote, “Trump just signed off on NVIDIA's plan to divert advanced chips to China. That'll drive prices of laptops and smartphones even higher — and help China overtake us in AI. Big Tech and China win. The rest of us lose.”
Jensen Huang confirmed the company has begun receiving new purchase orders from China
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that the company is now preparing to resume sales of its H200 processors in China, marking a shift after months of uncertainty, as reported by CNBC.
“We have received purchase orders, and we’re in the process of restarting our manufacturing,” Huang told reporters at the GTC conference in San Jose. He further added that Nvidia now has clearance from both US and Chinese authorities enabling its supply chain to ‘get fired up’ again.The update from Nvidia comes week after CFO Colette Kress told the analysts that the company had ‘yet to generate any revenue’ from the H200 chips in China, despite limited approvals.
China once accounted for at least one-fifth of Nvidia’s data center revenue, but sales were halted last year when the Trump administration required export licenses for advanced chips. Nvidia took a $5.5 billion charge due to the restrictions.In order to comply with US rules, Nvidia initially developed a lower-capability chip, the H20, for the Chinese market. But in December, US President Donald Trump allowed shipments of the more advanced H200, provided the U.S. government receives a 25% cut of sales. Even with that approval, security reviews in both countries delayed shipments until now.
