Sources: Beijing allowed ByteDance and Tencent to each receive about 10,000 Nvidia H200 chips at their mainland China facilities in recent weeks (Zijing Wu/Financial Times)
Beijing is letting limited H200 shipments onto the mainland while telling companies most stock should remain in Hong Kong.
ByteDance and Tencent each received about 10,000 Nvidia H200 processors in recent weeks, according to the FT item carried by Techmeme. The licenses allow H200 sales into China and Hong Kong, but Beijing has kept the flow small. The reported rationale is to support leading Chinese AI groups trying to close the gap with US rivals.
