Nvidia Corp. is negotiating with the United States government over whether it can ship a new artificial intelligence chip to China, Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang confirmed on Friday.

The discussions come amid reports earlier this week that the semiconductor giant is developing a new product, codenamed B30A, which would be more powerful than the H20 — currently the only Nvidia chip approved for sale in China under U.S. export restrictions.

“Offering a new product to China for the data center, AI data centers, the follow on to H20, that’s not our decision to make. It’s up to of course the United States government. And we are in dialogue with them. But it’s too soon to know,” Huang said in response.

Nvidia’s presence in China has become increasingly complex. The company designed the H20 as a downgraded chip to comply with U.S. rules, but Washington imposed fresh restrictions earlier this year.

Although Nvidia was later granted approval to resume sales of the H20, the deal requires the company to remit 15% of its China chip revenues to the U.S. government in exchange for licenses.

The renewed push into China faces additional hurdles. This month, Chinese regulators raised concerns over alleged security vulnerabilities in Nvidia chips, though the company denied the claims, saying its products do not contain “kill switches or backdoors.”

Huang, who visited China last month, reiterated that he hopes Nvidia can sell more advanced chips in the country despite mounting geopolitical tensions and regulatory scrutiny.
