US taking 25% cut of Nvidia chip sales “makes no sense,” experts say
NegativeTechnology
- President Trump has announced a significant policy shift allowing Nvidia to sell its advanced H200 AI chips to approved customers in China, effectively lifting a previous export ban imposed due to national security concerns. This decision includes a 25% surcharge on sales, which experts have criticized as illogical given the context of the deal.
- This development is crucial for Nvidia as it opens up access to the Chinese market, potentially allowing the company to recover billions in revenue after facing restrictions. The approval follows extensive lobbying efforts by Nvidia and reflects a notable change in U.S. export policy.
- The decision raises broader concerns about national security and the implications for U.S.-China relations, particularly in the technology sector. Critics argue that facilitating access to advanced AI technology for China could enhance its capabilities, thereby intensifying competition and geopolitical tensions.
