Nvidia Plans February Shipments of H200 Chips to China

The provided evidence strongly supports the conclusion that Nvidia is scheduled to ship H200 chips to China in February. Multiple high-authority sources, including Reuters, CNBC, and a specialized trade publication, confirm that the U.S. government initiated a 30-day regulatory review in mid-December 2025 for these specific chip sales. This review is explicitly described as a "key prerequisite for any potential sale and shipment." The timeline is critical: a 30-day review starting in mid-December would conclude in mid-January, making a scheduled shipment for the following month, February, a highly logical and plausible next step. Furthermore, sources from authoritative think tanks like the Council on Foreign Relations and the ITIF provide the policy context, indicating a U.S. administration plan to loosen export controls and approve these sales. This suggests the review is likely to be successful, paving the way for the shipments to proceed as scheduled. While no single source explicitly states the phrase "scheduled to ship in February," the cumulative evidence from consistent, credible sources establishes the necessary preconditions and a timeline that aligns perfectly with the statement. There is no credible evidence to contradict this. The low-authority Reddit sources discuss China's potential reception of the chips, not the scheduling of the shipment itself, and are therefore not relevant to refuting the claim.
