Nvidia has reportedly found a way to sell high-end chips to Chinese companies while remaining compliant with US rules aimed at limiting China's access to technology. The chipmaking giant is set to deliver three new chips, based on its H100 chip, to domestic manufacturers in China. These chips, called HGX H20, L20 PCle, and L2 PCle, have operating metrics that fall outside the threshold of US restrictions. China accounts for a significant portion of Nvidia's revenue, and while Chinese manufacturers continue to buy Nvidia's chips in the near term, they are also searching for replacements. The US has been tightening restrictions on sales to China, particularly in the semiconductor industry, as it aims to limit China's development of advanced technology for military use.

Chinese chip companies are accelerating their push for a more independent chip sector after US trade barriers cut off their access to Western tools and skilled workers. State funding is flooding in to cultivate homegrown alternatives to produce less advanced but still lucrative semiconductors. Dozens of Chinese chip companies are finalizing plans to raise money through public offerings this year. The new subsidies aim to remove Western components from China’s supply chains. Over the long term, China’s lack of access to world-class tools needed to make chips could stymie its progress in many advanced industries like artificial intelligence and aerospace.
