DeepSeek gets China approval to pursue purchase of Nvidia H200 AI chips

A report says DeepSeek has received approval from the Chinese government to buy Nvidia H200 AI chips. Engadget, citing Reuters, said Tencent, Alibaba and ByteDance were also approved to purchase a combined 400,000 H200 GPUs, and the U.S. government imposes a 25 percent tariff on the chips. China aims to foster its domestic AI chip industry but cannot ignore Nvidia’s technological edge. The U.S. government is probing allegations tied to Nvidia and DeepSeek.
