At the Beijing Expo, Jensen Huang also announced plans for a new chip for Chinese clients that is designed for robotics and smart factories.

Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been active on the government relations and lobbying front, and now he’s got something big to show for his efforts: the Trump Administration has agreed to lift a ban on selling Nvidia H20 AI chips to China.

Only a few years ago, the Biden administration declared export controls a “new strategic asset” to help the US maintain “as large a lead as possible” over China in advanced technology. President Donald Trump is now upending that approach.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the Trump administration is letting it sell its advanced H20 computer chips to China — a reversal in policy.

Wearing his iconic leather jacket, Huang walked into the sunny courtyard of the Mandarin Oriental hotel earlier than scheduled and took multiple questions.

Nvidia will ramp up supply of Chinese-compliant H20 chips in the coming months and look to bring more advanced semiconductors to the world's second-largest technology market, Chief Executive Jensen Huang said at an event in Beijing.
