Nvidia stock braces for a China shock as customs blocks H200 AI chips despite U.S. export nod

Nvidia shares inched up about 0.5% to $185.81 in U.S. premarket trading Wednesday, despite reports that Chinese customs officials told agents the company’s H200 AI chips aren’t allowed into China. Sources briefed on the situation said Beijing also warned local tech firms against buying the chips unless absolutely necessary.
