Nvidia stock falls as China blocks H200 AI chips despite U.S. export approval
Nvidia shares fell 2.2% to $181.77 after reports that China blocked imports of its H200 AI chip, despite a recent U.S. export approval. Chinese officials warned domestic tech firms against buying the chips, while exemptions for research use are under discussion. The move drew criticism in Washington and rattled chip sector stocks.
