We hope that China will ultimately allow the Nvidia H200 to enter its market, says Jensen Huang

Short version of the news report

During a recent visit by the U.S. President to China, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang joined the delegation at the last minute and has not yet announced official results of the trip, but expressed hope for a quick resolution to the import of American H200 accelerators.

Below is a more detailed retelling preserving all facts.

1. What happened
* Visit of the U.S. President to China

President Trump visited Beijing, where security and economic issues were discussed. During the visit the supply of Nvidia’s H200 accelerators was mentioned.

* Huang’s joining of the delegation

Jensen Huang (CEO and founder of Nvidia) joined the official group only at the very end of the trip. He did not take part in formal negotiations but attended meetings with Chinese leaders.

* Lack of a public statement on results

After returning from Beijing, Huang has not made public statements about specific agreements. In a Bloomberg interview he merely expressed optimism about future approval of imports of accelerators into China.

2. The essence of the H200 issue
Current status
The U.S. approved export of H200 accelerators, but Chinese authorities have not yet allowed import.

Supply to China
Nvidia and its partners still have not been able to deliver a single accelerator to the country.

Huang’s expectations
He believes that the Chinese market will open over time; “the Chinese government must decide how much of their local market they intend to protect.”

3. What was said during the visit
* Meeting with Trump

The President mentioned the H200 topic in conversation with Chinese leaders but did not give concrete promises. Huang noted: “I now wait for them to decide.”

* Chinese motives

According to Huang, China originally refused to import H200s to develop its own alternatives.

4. Additional context
* Taiwan and chip supplies

Huang is a native of Taiwan, and Nvidia heavily relies on Taiwanese fabs for semiconductor production, which China views as part of its territory.

* Chip shortage issue

Even if production moves to the U.S., demand for chips will remain too high for only American companies to meet. Huang forecasts that the chip shortage will persist for at least ten years.

Conclusion
Jensen Huang joined the U.S. President’s delegation in China at the last minute and has not yet announced specific results of the trip. He expressed hope for approval of H200 accelerator imports, emphasized that China must decide how much to protect its domestic market, and noted that supply issues were already discussed with Chinese leaders during the visit. At the same time Huang highlighted the complexity of the situation: Nvidia’s dependence on Taiwanese fabs and the projected chip shortage in the coming years.
