The chip ban suddenly "changed face"! The U.S. approves H200, Chinese AI companies start疯狂扫货

Over the past two years, the U.S. attitude toward high-end AI chips has been like a strict head teacher: no copying, no looking, and最好别呼吸. But no one expected the plot to suddenly shift 180 degrees—the U.S. approved some Chinese companies to purchase Nvidia H200.
The tech industry's first reaction: Is this real?
The capital circle's second reaction: Buy Nvidia quickly!
And China's AI companies' third and most genuine reaction: Where are the stocks?
H200 is not an ordinary chip; it belongs to the "Ferrari engine" in the AI world. Training large models, generating videos, performing complex reasoning—all rely on this super computing power. Whoever has more H200s will have a better chance to run faster in the AI race.
So once the news broke, Chinese tech companies' purchasing speed was like supermarket aunties抢鸡蛋. Because everyone knows, being able to buy now doesn't mean they can buy later. Today is "limited opening," tomorrow might turn into "technological restrictions."
The most surreal situation is America's own predicament. Too strict restrictions cause Nvidia's revenue to plummet; too loose, and there's concern about competitors rising. So Washington is stuck in the classic "both want and need" mode: want to make money, want to lead; want to sell chips, but fear others will learn.
Jensen Huang is probably the most difficult person globally. On one hand, he must smile and nod at U.S. regulations; on the other, he must reassure global clients: "Don't worry, there are still supplies."
But what the market truly cares about isn't this batch of chips but the signals it releases: the U.S. is beginning to realize that the AI supply chain can't be completely cut off. Decades of globalization can't be dismantled just like that. Especially in the AI era, computing power, data, talent, and capital have long been intertwined.
More importantly, Chinese companies have now formed a new habit: as soon as the U.S.稍微松口, they immediately stockpile. Because no one knows when the next window will close.
Thus, a strange scene has appeared in the global AI chip market: the U.S. responsible for restrictions, China responsible for抢购, Nvidia responsible for counting money.
And ordinary netizens are not idle either. Someone joked: "In the past, gold was a store of value; now H200 is." Some even said that in the future, matchmaking conditions might become: "How many GPUs does your family have?"
Although it sounds funny, the reality is indeed heading toward "computing power assetization." In the future, the most expensive thing might not be houses but data centers capable of running large models.
This chip drama, on the surface, is trade news, but in fact, it marks the beginning of a reshuffle of global power in the AI era. #Gate广场五月交易分享
