Nvidia is set to resume sales of its AI chips to China. Here's who's on the ‘whitelist' of buyers
Chinese firms are scrambling to buy Nvidia's H20 artificial intelligence chips, two sources told Reuters, as the company said it planned to resume sales to the mainland days after its CEO met U.S. President Donald Trump. Nvidia's AI chips have been a key focus of U.S. export controls designed to keep the most advanced chips out of Chinese hands over national security concerns. The U.S.-listed company has said the curbs would cut its revenue by $15 billion. The world's most valuable firm is filing applications with the U.S. government to resume sales to China of the H20 graphics processing unit (GPU), and expects to get the licences soon, Nvidia said in a statement. 'The U.S. government has assured Nvidia that licences will be granted, and Nvidia hopes to start deliveries soon,' said the company, whose chief executive, Jensen Huang, is visiting Beijing and set to speak at an event on Wednesday. The White House, which has previously expressed concern that the Chinese military could use AI chips to develop weapons, did not respond to a request for comment. Chinese companies have scrambled to place orders for the chips, which Nvidia would then need to send to the U.S. government for approval, the sources familiar with the matter said. They added that internet giants ByteDance and Tencent are in the process of submitting applications. Central to the process is a 'whitelist' put together by Nvidia for Chinese companies to register for potential purchases, one of the sources said. ByteDance and Tencent did not respond to a request for comment. Nvidia did not respond to a request for comment regarding the 'whitelist'. Nvidia, which has criticised the export curbs the Trump administration imposed in April that stopped it from selling its H20 chip in China, also said it has introduced a new model tailored to meet regulatory rules in the Chinese market. Huang is set for a media briefing in Beijing on Wednesday when he attends a supply chain expo. The Nvidia CEO also visited China in April and stressed the importance of the Chinese market. 'The Chinese market is massive, dynamic, and highly innovative, and it's also home to many AI researchers,' Huang told Chinese state broadcaster CCTV on Tuesday. 'Therefore, it is indeed crucial for American companies to establish roots in the Chinese market.' Nvidia's shares jumped 5% in premarket trading. Rival AI chipmaker AMD, which has forecast a $1.5 billion revenue hit this year due to U.S. export curbs on China, rose more than 3%. 'This is a major catalyst for Nvidia shares, as many had written off the chance of any meaningful revenue coming from China,' said Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst, Hargreaves Lansdown. Asked at a regular foreign ministry briefing in Beijing about Nvidia's plans to resume AI chip sales, a spokesperson said, 'China is opposed to the politicisation, instrumentalisation and weaponisation of science, technology and economic and trade issues to maliciously blockade and suppress China.' SUPPLY CHAIN Nvidia has faced increased competition from Chinese tech giant Huawei and other makers of GPUs — the chips used to train artificial intelligence. But Chinese companies, including big tech firms, still crave Nvidia chips for its computing platform known as CUDA. Huang's visit is being closely watched in both China and the United States, where a bipartisan pair of senators last week sent the CEO a letter asking him to abstain from meeting companies working with military or intelligence bodies. The senators also asked Huang to refrain from meeting with entities named on the United States' restricted export list. The move to resume sales of the H20 chips comes amid easing tensions between Washington and Beijing, with China relaxing controls on rare earth exports and the United States allowing chip design software services to restart in China. 'The uncertainties between the U.S. and China remain high and despite a pause in H20's ban, Chinese companies will continue to diversify their options to better protect their supply chain integrity,' said He Hui, research director of semiconductors at Omdia. The H20 chip was developed specifically for the Chinese market after U.S. export curbs imposed on national security grounds in late 2023. The AI chip was Nvidia's most powerful legally available product in China until it was effectively banned by Washington in April. The H20 ban forced Nvidia to write off $5.5 billion in inventories, and Huang told the Stratechery podcast that the company also had to walk away from $15 billion in sales. But now, the possibility of new licenses could represent about $15 billion to $20 billion in additional revenue this year, depending on when the approval is granted and how quick the deliveries can ramp back up, said Hargreaves' Britzman. 'There's also a chance Nvidia can reverse some, or all, of the $5.5 billion impairment charge taken in the first quarter, providing a double boost for earnings.' Nvidia also announced the development of a new AI chip designed specifically for China, called the RTX Pro GPU. The company described it as 'fully compliant' with U.S. export controls and suitable for digital twin AI applications in sectors, such as smart factories and logistics. In May, Reuters reported Nvidia was preparing to launch in China a new AI chip, based on the RTX Pro 6000D, at a significantly lower price point than the H20. The graphics processing unit would be part of Nvidia's latest generation Blackwell-architecture AI processors and was expected to be priced well below the H20 for its weaker specifications and simpler manufacturing requirements, sources said. China generated $17 billion in revenue for Nvidia in the fiscal year ending January 26, or 13% of total sales, based on its latest annual report. Huang has consistently highlighted China as a critical market for Nvidia's growth.

Over 50 With No Retirement Savings? Here's What To Do Now
Planning for retirement in your 50s starts with clear goals, honest budgeting and a renewed focus on ... More the future. Landing that first job after graduation is exciting. Suddenly, you have real money in the bank to buy what your childhood allowance could only dream of. But then life happens. You get promoted, maybe married with children, and before you know it, retirement is closer than those carefree 'work hard, play hard' days ever were. One day, you wake up in your 50s and realize retirement is right around the corner. Questions start piling up: Have you saved enough? Should you adjust your investment risk? Is there still time to catch up? The good news is it's never too late to take control and set a stronger course for your future. 'In my commentary on the planning aspect, talking to somebody and mapping this out and understanding all the parts and pieces, honestly, don't be embarrassed that you're not there yet,' Genevieve George, CPA, CFP, CFE, CDFA, senior wealth advisor and principal at Pelican Financial Planning and Wealth, states during a phone interview. Many people feel embarrassed about their lack of knowledge about financial planning or about comparing themselves to their peers who have saved more. An AARP survey revealed that 20% of adults over 50 have no retirement savings at all. Meanwhile, 61% in this age group are worried they won't have enough to support themselves during retirement. Even among those actively saving, only 40% of men believe they're putting away enough. CNBC reports that 67% of 55-year-olds fear outliving their savings. On top of that, many Americans at 55 have less than $50,000 in median retirement savings. The numbers may feel daunting, but they don't have to define your future. Whether you're playing catch-up or fine-tuning an existing plan, there are practical steps you can take today to build confidence and security in your retirement strategy. Genevieve George, CPA, CFP, CFE, CDFA senior wealth advisor and principal at Pelican Financial ... More Planning and Wealth, creating a retirement strategy for her clients. Be Brave And Ask Questions It's easy to feel ashamed or overwhelmed when looking at your financial reality in your 50s. But as George points out, embarrassment is one of the biggest barriers to getting on track. 'Don't be embarrassed to say out loud, 'I don't think I've saved enough,'' she says. Many people avoid sharing their full financial picture out of fear of judgment, even though this honesty is crucial to making a real plan. One of George's clients, for example, was retiring with thousands of dollars in credit card debt. This amount could have been covered with assets, but the shame to admit it made it worse. George emphasizes that these are your life savings. You have every right to ask questions and fully understand what you have and how it's working. In your 50s—often your peak earning years—you have an opportunity to make smart moves and set yourself up for the next stage. It starts with being brave enough to face the numbers and take control. Reevaluate Your Risk—One Size Doesn't Fit All In your 50s, the investment playbook you used in your 40s might no longer serve you. Jason Bayuk, CFP, financial advisor, financial services representative at Barnum Premier Client Group, stresses the importance of revisiting your asset allocation and risk tolerance as you approach retirement. Unlike your younger years, when there was time to recover from market dips, your focus now should be on protecting what you've built while still allowing for growth. 'Your risk tolerance should be unique to you and what your needs are, and more specifically, the risk tolerance that you have should revolve around the job description of what you want those dollars to do for you,' he explains. 'Each bucket of money that you have in your life should have a specific job description, and that job description will ultimately impact how those dollars should be invested.' He suggests thinking of your savings in different 'buckets,' each with its own purpose and timeline. Money needed in the first years of retirement should be more conservatively allocated, while funds for later decades can take on more risk to keep growing. Prepare For The Unexpected Even the most carefully crafted retirement strategy can be upended by unexpected events. Bayuk emphasizes the critical importance of estate planning as part of any retirement preparation. 'Although you can have the perfect retirement plan that's set up financially, unexpected events may happen that could potentially derail you,' he warns. Estate planning goes beyond crafting a will. It also includes essential documents like healthcare proxies, durable powers of attorney and HIPAA authorizations. These protections ensure that if something happens to you, your wishes are carried out and your loved ones are shielded from unnecessary financial and legal complications. People in their 50s need to think beyond just growing their savings and start planning how they'll use that money. A big part of that is tax diversification. He shares, 'It's important to have diversification amongst the different taxation of investment strategies, making sure that you have the correct balance between taxable accounts, tax-deferred accounts andtax-advantage accounts such as Roth.' Jason Bayuk, CFP, financial advisor, financial services representative at Barnum Premier Client ... More Group, speaking at Hamptons Tech Week 2025. Get Real About Your Spending Habits Many people assume they'll spend far less in retirement, but George warns against this common misconception. 'They're about to have 40 plus extra hours in a week, so their spending might not actually be [what they think]' she explains. The reality? Lifestyle habits are deeply ingrained, and cutting expenses overnight is much harder than it sounds. 'Some people think, okay, I'm going to retire, but I can live on less,' she says. 'And if you haven't lived on less for the last 15 years, it's going to be drastic.' Instead of assuming you'll naturally downsize your lifestyle, analyze where your money really goes and then create a realistic budget; an honest budget can prevent you from being blindsided and help ensure your retirement savings match the life you want to live. What To Do If You're Starting Late If you're in your 50s and feel behind, don't panic. Here's how to get moving: 'Ideally, in a perfect world, all of the saving strategies that you'd have would be systematic, automatic,' Bayuk concludes. 'Saving strategies are the best way that we save.'

Building Tomorrow's Mining Workforce: A Three-Part Solution
Ed Macha is the CEO of Reliable Controls. America's mining industry requires diverse skills, from engineering and geology to environmental science and technology. However, the workforce is aging, and there is a lack of young talent entering the field to replace them. The National Mining Association (NMA) estimates the sector will need to fill tens of thousands of jobs over the next decade to maintain production levels. This shortage is particularly concerning given the increasing demand for critical minerals to support renewable energy technologies. That's why the need for educational institutions to shape the next generation for mining careers is urgent—but it can't happen in isolation. I believe business leaders have a crucial role to play in shaping immigration policies to enhance the workforce, as well as to promote a realistic understanding of the industry's needs. I believe this three-pronged approach can ensure we have the skilled labor needed to help create a prosperous and sustainable future for everyone. 1. Educational Transformation I think the main solution to the labor shortage lies in transforming educational initiatives. Universities, colleges and vocational schools can revamp their curricula to align with the practical needs of the mining industry. This could involve expanding specialized programs in mining engineering, incorporating more interdisciplinary studies and providing more opportunities for practical courses. By starting early with high school and even elementary education, institutions can introduce students to the importance of natural resources and the role of mining in the energy transition. Hands-on experiences could ignite interest in mining careers, showing students how they can contribute to solving global problems and advance in their careers. For example, the University of Arizona's Lowell Institute for Mineral Resources allows students to engage in fieldwork and research projects that address real-world mining challenges. Partnerships between educational institutions and mining companies can provide students with internships, apprenticeships and job placements, ensuring a steady talent pipeline and promising career opportunities. As part of these partnerships, mining executives can also contribute by serving on industry advisory boards, funding scholarships, and otherwise helping to shape the curriculum around the skills modern mines actually need. These are small actions that can yield long-term workforce stability. 2. Immigration Policy Given the immediate need for skilled workers, I also think immigration policy needs to evolve to help attract talented individuals outside the U.S. who can contribute to a reliable domestic metal supply chain. While this may raise concerns about the impact on the domestic workforce and national security, it is important to note that welcoming skilled immigrants is both a stopgap and strategic move to enhance the mining sector's diversity, innovation and resilience. This could involve streamlining visa processes for skilled workers in mining-related fields, providing incentives for international students to study and remain in the U.S. after graduation and developing pathways to permanent residency for those who contribute meaningfully to the mining industry. Looking back, we can draw inspiration from the significant contributions of immigrants to America's industrial and economic growth during the early 20th century. As Teddy Roosevelt once said, 'The fundamental thing to do for every man is to give him a chance to reach a place in which he will make the greatest possible contribution to the public welfare.' By attracting and retaining skilled workers worldwide, we can fortify our mining industry and, in turn, our national security and economic prosperity. 3. Media And Public Perception I see how many young people today don't have much exposure to the practical realities of natural resource use, in part because media coverage often emphasizes climate concerns and ambitious calls to eliminate fossil fuels. While addressing climate change is critical, there needs to be a balanced narrative that also highlights the essential role of mining in the energy transition. Examples of media misrepresentation include reports from the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the United Nations (UN) that emphasize the catastrophic consequences of climate change without adequately discussing the practical steps needed for the transition to renewable energy. They often fail to highlight the essential processes required to extract and process the unprecedented amounts of critical minerals necessary to mitigate these impacts. Similarly, UN reports frequently stress the urgency of ending fossil fuel use but fail to address the substantial increase in mining and fossil fuels required to produce renewable energy technologies. I believe we need to move away from using alarming and apocalyptic language to underscore the urgency of tackling climate change. While they aim to raise awareness and drive action, I think this approach ultimately creates anxiety and hopelessness, particularly among young people. The media's role in promoting this balanced narrative could include highlighting success stories, such as Rio Tinto's use of autonomous vehicles and AI to optimize mining operations. Furthermore, educational campaigns that explain the importance of essential minerals in everyday life—from smartphones to electric vehicles—can help foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the mining industry. Mining's Role In The Green Transition Overcoming the workforce shortage in the mining industry is a complex task that we can collectively conquer. Business leaders, specifically, have a pivotal role to play: helping to shape policy, forge partnerships and tell a more honest story about what it takes to build a sustainable world. By focusing on these areas, we can ensure that our nation has the skilled workforce to secure a reliable supply of critical minerals and lead the way in the global energy transition. Investing in our workforce prepares us for economic growth and ensures national security and sustainability. This is how we can transform challenges into opportunities through strategic foresight and united action.
