Answer
Nvidia has received U.S. approval to export its H200 AI chips to China, but faces hurdles including potential Congressional restrictions, surcharges, and uncertainty over Chinese regulatory approval. Major Chinese tech firms have already placed orders, yet Beijing is prioritizing domestic chipmakers. Wall Street remains optimistic about Nvidia's AI leadership, though production and policy challenges persist.

Report: Nvidia considers H200 production ramp ahead of China demand
- Nvidia may increase H200 chip output due to strong demand from China
- H200 uses older manufacturing process, easing competition for TSMC capacity 29s
- TSMC's supply is three times short of AI-driven demand, limiting easy scaling 1m 6s
- China has not approved H200 imports and is favoring domestic suppliers 1m 31s

China is accelerating domestic AI chip development as U.S. export restrictions on Nvidia ease. ByteDance and Alibaba placed immediate H200 orders, but Beijing faces a dilemma between supporting local chipmakers and accessing U.S. technology.
Nvidia faces significant challenges to boosting H200 chip sales in China, including a potential Congressional export ban, a 25% government surcharge, production constraints at TSMC, and possible Chinese import restrictions.
