Nvidia’s H200 finally reaches Chinese buyers, though maybe not mainland China

Nvidia's H200 AI accelerators have begun shipping to Chinese companies like ByteDance and Tencent after months of export restrictions, though shipments are limited and must be kept outside mainland China, typically in Hong Kong, due to regulatory constraints. The U.S. Commerce Department has set caps on shipments and is reviewing how Chinese firms access hardware outside mainland China to enforce export controls.
