NVIDIA will begin delivering its H20 AI chips to China after receiving U.S. export approval. CEO Jensen Huang announced the move during his visit to Beijing, marking a key development in U.S.-China tech relations.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang confirmed on July 15 in Beijing that the company has received U.S. government approval to export its H20 AI chips to China. Sales will begin soon.
On July 14, NVIDIA announced on its official website that the U.S. government had guaranteed an export license for the H20 graphics processing unit (GPU), with deliveries expected shortly.
The H20 is an AI accelerator specifically designed for the Chinese market. It was created in response to U.S. export restrictions on high-end AI chips. In April, Washington had blocked sales of the H20 to China, but the new license clears the way for its release.
Huang also revealed that NVIDIA will launch a new AI chip called the RTX Pro GPU, designed for computer graphics, digital twins, and AI applications.
Speaking in Beijing, Huang praised China as a “massive, dynamic, and innovative” market and a key hub for AI researchers. He stressed that a strong presence in China is vital for U.S. companies.
According to the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, Huang will attend the opening ceremony of the 3rd China International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing on July 16. This marks his third visit to China in 2025.
