Allowing Nvidia to export H200 chips to China represents a dangerous betrayal of American interests and national security. This decision abandons the America First principle by handing advanced technology to our greatest geopolitical rival, demonstrating weakness rather than strength in the face of Chinese competition. What should be strategic leverage in the art of dealmaking has devolved into unilateral surrender, gifting China the very tools needed to challenge American technological dominance.
The revised export policy for H200 chips strikes the right balance between security and economic reality through rigorous safeguards. By requiring certification of sufficient domestic supply, preventing diversion of foundry capacity from U.S. end users, mandating robust security procedures, and enforcing independent third-party testing, this approach protects American interests while maintaining commercial viability. The case-by-case review process ensures careful scrutiny rather than blanket restrictions that could harm U.S. semiconductor companies.
