# U.S. Trade Official: Very Few Nvidia H200 Chips Shipped to China Nvidia's AI chips have reached China in limited quantities. - **Source:** [US Top News and Analysis](https://brifing.si/source/635540e9-943e-450d-ae52-ae0bfe3b67eb) - **Published:** 2026-07-14 - **Topic:** [Business](https://brifing.si/c/business) - **Original article:** - **On Brifing:** https://brifing.si/s/512946e0-f11b-41fe-92f7-c0ea786ed03f ## Nvidia's Chip Shipments to China Jeffery Kessler, a U.S. Commerce Department official, stated that very few of Nvidia's H200 AI chips have been shipped to China and Hong Kong. This indicates that chip exports have resumed. ## Impact of the Trade War Nvidia has lowered its revenue expectations from the Chinese market, and CEO Jensen Huang told investors not to expect anything from Chinese sales. China is one of the largest markets for AI development. ## Licensing Process and Security The U.S. government evaluates H200 chip exports on a case-by-case basis. Applicants must meet national security requirements and undergo inspections. Some applications are denied. ## China's Alternatives Without Nvidia chips, Chinese firms are forced to use domestic alternatives, which are considered inferior for AI training. This could impact China's technological advancement. ## Political and Economic Factors The trade and technology war between the U.S. and China limits Nvidia's exports to China. This situation affects the company's global strategy. ## Future Expectations It remains unclear whether large quantities of H200 chips will be imported into China. This process is critical for both Nvidia and China's technology policies. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/14/nvidia-h200-ai-chips-china.html — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
