The Trump administration changed its position on the NVIDIA H20 Chip after dinner at Mar-A-Solan, which was visited by CEO Jenzen Juang . The dinner invitation cost $ 1 million per person. About it writes Npr.
Initially, the introduction of export restrictions on Chip H20, the most modern chip for artificial intelligence, which the US can legally sell China . However, after dinner, the White House decided to suspend these restrictions by giving up their implementation.
The change in the government's position was the result of NVIDIA's promise on new investments in the US Date Centers in the US. Legislators pressed the Trump administration , demanding to increase restrictions on advanced technologies for AI, including after a Chinese company DEESEEK demonstrated her si in January .
Chip H20 has become popular in China as it supports the Infession Processes for SI models such as Deeseek, Meta and Openai . Chinese companies actively purchased the H20, accumulating them when export restrictions are introduced.
Despite the political pressure on expanding restrictions, the process was delayed due to insufficient number of staff in the industrial security office, which is engaged in the development and implementation of export controls.
Trump's decision to allow Chinese companies to continue the purchase of H20 chips has become an important victory for China, as these chips exceed most local Chinese technologies.
