China allows limited imports of Nvidia H200 chips

China is giving its tech companies access to powerful Nvidia H200 chips. Authorities are allowing small batches of these advanced processors onto the mainland.

Local AI firms need this hardware to keep up with American competitors. US export rules make it very hard to get high end chips, so this move offers some relief.

Regulators are keeping strict limits on the imports for now. Even so, the small supply gives Chinese labs a much needed performance boost for their models.
