US will allow Nvidia’s H200 AI chips to be exported to China with 25% fee
Summary
The US government has decided to allow Nvidia’s H200 artificial-intelligence accelerators to be exported to approved commercial customers in China, while collecting a 25% fee on such sales. The move, announced by President Donald Trump and detailed in multiple reports, partially reverses earlier export controls and is framed as a way to preserve US AI leadership, but has drawn sharp criticism from lawmakers and national-security experts who warn it could strengthen China’s military and AI capabilities.([reuters.com](https://www.reuters.com/world/china/us-open-up-exports-nvidia-h200-chips-china-semafor-reports-2025-12-08/))
