Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is in Shanghai, according to sources, as the company faces ongoing regulatory and competitive challenges in China.

The visit coincides with Nvidia’s routine annual event for its China staff, with Huang scheduled to attend a celebration in Shanghai before traveling to Beijing, Shenzhen, and Taiwan.

The company is awaiting approval from Beijing to sell its H200 AI chip in China after the US authorized the sale.

Chinese customs officials have reportedly indicated that the H200 chip is not permitted to enter China, though it is unclear if this is a formal ban or a temporary restriction.

The H200, Nvidia’s second most powerful AI chip, has become a focal point in US-China technology discussions amid broader trade and regulatory tensions.
