Nvidia faces new US restrictions and scrutiny over AI chip sales to China

Nvidia is dealing with new US government rules that limit its sales of advanced AI chips to China. The Trump administration enacted security rules for these sales, and while the Commerce Department recently approved the sale of Nvidia's H200 chips to China, it set strict limitations on the transactions.

Separately, a US lawmaker has claimed that Nvidia helped the Chinese AI company DeepSeek hone models that were later used by China's military. Meanwhile, the Financial Times reported that some suppliers for the H200 chip have halted production after China blocked shipments of the components.
