In Brief Earlier in July, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick gave chipmakers like Nvidia the green light to start selling certain AI chips in China again, but his department is said to be holding things up. According to reporting from Reuters, Nvidia has yet to receive a license to sell its H20 AI chips.

China is one of Nvidia's largest markets, particularly for data centers, gaming and artificial intelligence applications. Nvidia has denied that its chips have any "backdoors" that would allow anyone to access or control them, after Chinese regulators summoned officials from the company to explain risks associated with its H20 chip. While Nvidia was given assurances by Washington that it would be allowed to resume exports of its made-for-China H20 general processing units, the AI chips have at
