- Production Halt: Suppliers of Nvidia's H200 chips have paused production due to Chinese customs blocking shipments, affecting over 1 million orders from Chinese clients, which significantly disrupts the company's sales strategy in the Chinese market.
- Order Preparations: Suppliers had been operating continuously since March to prepare for shipping, but the customs ban has forced a halt to planned shipments, potentially leading to downward revisions in Nvidia's revenue expectations for upcoming quarters.
- Policy Changes: China is beginning to create purchasing rules to allow domestic tech companies to buy H200 GPUs, indicating government interest in the technology; however, prior requests for some companies to halt orders add to market uncertainty.
- Market Reaction: Despite the Trump administration's approval for selling H200 chips to China with a 25% fee, criticism from Chinese media regarding the chip's technological inadequacies and safety concerns further exacerbates worries about Nvidia's future business prospects in China.
