Almost 600,000 Nvidia H200s stranded in Hong Kong as Chinese gov’t stalls on import approvals – reportSome companies have secured limited number of chips as large-volume shipments remain stalled
About 600,000 Nvidia H200 artificial intelligence chips remain stored in Hong Kong, awaiting shipment to mainland China as Beijing has yet to approve large-scale imports despite strong demand from Chinese technology companies.
The previously unreported stockpile reflects Beijing’s reluctance to deepen the country’s reliance on U.S. technology. At the same time, Chinese companies still need Nvidia’s advanced computing power to meet growing demand for AI services, creating tension between the government’s long-term technological ambitions and the industry’s immediate requirements.
I thought China didn't want these downgraded chips at all?
Only enough to duplicate and iterate on them. Making Nvidia irrelevant. They aim to replace Jensen as evil AI overlord.
