US-approved Nvidia H200 handlers in China include firms with empty offices and blacklist ties
What happened
Washington's case for letting Nvidia sell H200 chips to China rested on case-by-case national-security screening of buyers. According to a New York Times investigation published on November 7, the screening cleared companies whose listed offices stood empty and whose owners have ties to firms on the US trade blacklist. The findings sharpen doubts over whether the licensing channel can keep advanced AI hardware away from restricted entities.
