Nvidia CEO says purchase orders, not formal declaration, will signal Chinese approval of H200

LAS VEGAS, Nevada, Jan 6 (Reuters) – Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said on Tuesday he does not believe China’s government will make a formal declaration that it has allowed Chinese firms to import the U.S. company’s H200 chips but that evidence will come through purchase orders.

“My expectation is that we’re not expecting any press releases or any large declarations,” Huang said, after saying that demand for the H200 chips was strong among Chinese customers.
