China blocks Nvidia H200 shipments, stalling AI-chip supply chain

TL;DR Summary
Chinese customs blocked clearance for Nvidia's H200 AI chips, prompting suppliers to halt production of H200 components (notably PCBs) as shipments were delayed; Nvidia had anticipated strong demand in China after U.S. approval, but regulatory ambiguity and Beijing's push for domestic chips have raised concerns, with some buyers shifting to alternative models like the B200/B300 and potential licensing rules likely to shape future access.
