In recent months, small quantities have been brought in.

(Shanghai = Yonhap News) Correspondent Cha Byeong-seop = Foreign media reported that hundreds of thousands of Nvidia chips that were destined to enter mainland China were waiting in Hong Kong due to the Chinese authorities' pending import approval.

Citing multiple anonymous sources, Reuters reported on the 5th (local time) that about 600,000 units of Nvidia H200 chips are being stored in Hong Kong awaiting shipment to China.

He went on to say that Chinese companies need NVIDIA chips to respond to the rapid increase in demand for artificial intelligence (AI), but that the authorities' withholding of approval reflects a reluctance to expand technology dependence on the United States.

Sources explained that authorities have allowed some H200s to be imported into China in recent months and that major technology companies have secured about 10,000 units per company, but have not approved large-scale deliveries.

Nvidia's latest Blackwell chips are prohibited from being exported to China. H200 is a high-performance chip that can be used for AI model training among products available for export to China.

Relevant Chinese ministries, Chinese companies such as Alibaba, ByteDance, Deepseek, Tencent, and Nvidia did not comment on Reuters' request for comment.
