Legislators criticize the U.S. government for allowing AMD and Nvidia to sell AI GPUs to China again, but instead of reinstating the ban, they call for new export rules based on what China can build itself.

The Trump administration's decision to allow Nvidia's H20 chips back into China has triggered a surge of urgent orders from major Chinese cloud providers, reviving not only Nvidia's outlook but also lifting sentiment across the AI semiconductor ecosystem.

The U.S. House Select Committee on China has expressed concerns about the Trump administration's decision to allow Nvidia ( NASDAQ: NVDA) to resume shipments of its H20 AI chips to China.

Nvidia stock surged 4.47% in pre-market trading after the U.S. government cleared the company to resume H20 AI chip exports to China. This greenlight could recover billions in lost revenue after Nvidia took a $4.

In April 2025, the U.S. expanded restrictions to include the Nvidia H20 chip, a China-specific version designed to comply with earlier export rules.
