January 9, 2026, 11:14 PM EST. Beijing is poised to approve imports of Nvidia chips, Bloomberg reported, a potential win for the US chipmaker. Beijing would permit limited shipments but exclude use in military or other sensitive sectors. The move follows a broader US crackdown; Trump administration last year allowed Nvidia to sell its older-generation H200 AI chips. Nvidia CEO said, 'We have fired up our supply chain,' signaling readiness to meet demand. The decision is not expected to blunt China's push to grow a domestic chip sector. Still, the head of China's main semiconductor trade body warned the industry to 'remain highly vigilant' against dependence on the United States.
