00:00U.S. President Donald Trump said he would allow NVIDIA to sell H200 chips to approved

00:07customers in China for a surcharge. The tiny chips are used to power a range of electronic

00:12devices, from smartphones to medical equipment. They're also essential to artificial intelligence

00:18processing. The decision opens a major market for NVIDIA despite concerns that China could

00:24use the advanced semiconductors for military purposes. A group of Democratic senators that

00:30objected the approval also pointed to the fact that DeepSeek, a major Chinese AI company,

00:35recently said the lack of access to American-designed chips was the biggest challenge when competing

00:41with U.S.-based AI companies. The H200 is more powerful than the previous generation H20,

00:48but slightly less advanced than NVIDIA's Blackwell chip. Back in April, Trump banned the sale of

00:55H20s to China due to national security concerns. The ban came despite the fact that the chip had

01:01been designed to comply with Biden-era export curbs. A few months later, the president reversed the

01:07decision after NVIDIA agreed to pay 15 percent of its Chinese revenues to the U.S. government.
