But while the U.S. government now allows the export of some AMD and Nvidia AI GPUs to China , it remains to be seen how many of these processors the country will consume, given its effort for self-sufficiency.
Huang plans to attend internal company events tied to the Lunar New Year and is also expected to travel to Beijing, reports Bloomberg. But the author's sources were unclear whether meetings with senior Chinese officials will occur; Huang's itinerary is not finalized and could still change. Nvidia reportedly declined to comment on the visit, which is in line with the company's current policy of not giving investors any hope on its return to the Chinese market of AI accelerators.
Huang has made similar trips at this time of year before, as the company maintains significant operations in China. But this is the first time that the head of Nvidia will visit China now that the company is guaranteed to get an export license to ship its H200 GPUs to the People's Republic. The Chinese government seems to have put curbs on such shipments ; as a result, it is expected that Huang will meet Chinese authorities to negotiate about imports of H200 to the country.
