Nvidia is not slowing down. The world’s most valuable chipmaker is heading back to China. CEO Jensen Huang is all set to visit Beijing next week. This trip is not just a friendly hello. It’s business. Big business.
The main reason? Nvidia is launching a new AI chip made just for China. The release is planned for September. This chip is different. It skips key features like high-bandwidth memory and NVLink. Why? To follow U.S. export rules while still keeping China in the game.

Huang plans to meet Chinese Premier Li Qiang. He’s also expected to meet Vice Premier He Lifeng, just like he did back in April. The visit lines up with the 3rd China International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing from July 16 to 20.
Nvidia’s strategy is clear. The U.S. is tightening its grip on high-end tech. So Nvidia is playing smart. The new chip is based on the Blackwell RTX Pro 6000. It’s less powerful, but still useful. And it keeps Nvidia from breaking U.S. rules.
Some Chinese customers have already tested it. Performance is lower than the older H20 chip. Still, many are interested. Why? Because switching away from Nvidia’s software system, CUDA, is expensive and complex. Most developers would rather stay with what they know.
But demand won’t be like before. Last year’s H20 chip sold more. This time, things might be slower.
China’s big tech companies—like Alibaba, ByteDance, and Tencent—are not waiting. They are testing local chips. They don’t want to rely too much on Nvidia anymore. The fear of future bans is real.
Still, Nvidia isn’t ready to give up on China. It’s the company’s fourth-biggest market. In fiscal 2025, Nvidia made $17 billion from China. That’s 13% of its global earnings. But due to new U.S. rules, Nvidia had to write off $5.5 billion in inventory in April.
Huang has been open about his views. At a Taiwan event in May, he said U.S. export controls have failed. He believes Chinese developers using American platforms actually helps the U.S.
This visit is more than just business. It’s about survival. It’s about keeping a foothold in one of the biggest tech markets in the world. And it’s about showing that Nvidia knows how to play the geopolitical game without breaking the rules.
The global AI race is getting tougher. The U.S. says “no.” China pushes forward. And Nvidia? It builds a new road.
This new chip is not just a product. It’s a message. Nvidia won’t be pushed out that easily.
