  • Beijing set to approve Nvidia chip imports, easing controls on AI hardware
    January 9, 2026, 11:04 PM EST. Beijing is set to approve limited imports of Nvidia chips, Bloomberg reported, a win for the US chipmaker as Washington has sought to curb China's access to cutting-edge semiconductors. The Trump administration last year allowed Nvidia to sell its older-generation H200 AI chips. Beijing's plan would permit imports for civilian use only, excluding military or other sensitive sectors. Nvidia has fired up its supply chain to meet expected demand, its CEO said this week. The move is unlikely to derail China's broader goals to grow its domestic chip industry, though leaders of the sector warn against dependence on the US and urge vigilance.
