STORY: :: NVIDIAThe Trump administration on Tuesday gave a formal green light to China-bound sales of Nvidia's second most powerful AI chip-- the H200.But Washington put in place some conditions.According to the new regulations, the chips will be reviewed by a third-party lab to confirm their AI capabilities before they can be shipped to China.In addition, Beijing will not be allowed to receive more than 50% of the total amount of chips sold to American customers, and Nvidia will need to certify there are enough H200s in the U.S.:: NVIDIAChinese customers will also have to demonstrate "sufficient security procedures", and cannot use the chips for military purposes.Technology companies in China have placed orders for more than 2 million H200 chips, exceeding Nvidia's inventory of 700,000.:: FilePresident Donald Trump announced last month that he would allow the sales in exchange for a 25% fee for the U.S. government.The decision drew fire from China hawks across the U.S. political spectrum over concerns that it would supercharge Beijing's military and erode the U.S. advantage in artificial intelligence.Nvidia said the move "strikes a thoughtful balance that is great for America" and will help the company compete in the global chip market.The Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the new moves. Market Context Stock market movements reflect investor sentiment, corporate earnings, and macroeconomic conditions.
