Top Republican on China panel objects to resumption of Nvidia H20 chip shipments

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The chairman of the House Select Committee on China objected on Friday to the resumption of Nvidia selling H20 AI chips to China in a letter to U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, warning it may advance China's AI capability and help its companies capture global AI model market share. The decision this week to allow Nvidia to resume sales reversed an export restriction imposed in April that is designed to keep the most advanced AI chips out of Chinese hands over national security concerns, an issue that has found rare bipartisan support. "The Commerce Department made the right call in banning the H20," Republican Representative John Moolenaar wrote on Friday.
