Trump says Nvidia's H20 is 'obsolete', yet there are worries about selling the GPU to China
US President Donald Trump explained his decision to allow Nvidia to sell its H20 graphics processing unit (GPU) to China on Monday by describing it as obsolete. More specifically, Mr Trump was asked about making a deal with Nvidia for the US government to receive a 15 per cent cut of sales to Beijing. 'I deal with Jensen [Huang], who is a great guy,' Mr Trump said, referring to Nvidia's chief executive and founder. 'The chip that we're talking about, the H20, it's an old chip and China already has it … but it's obsolete and it still has a market.' That begs the question, however, why there is so much demand from China for the H20, and why some elected officials and analysts are so concerned that Mr Trump will allow the chip to be sold to the country. By most standards, Mr Trump's description of the H20 as obsolete is incorrect – to describe a technology, particularly a piece of hardware like the H20 GPU, as obsolete is to imply that it's no longer supported by the tech world, making it completely impractical to use within an existing technology ecosystem. That's not the case with the H20, which was designed several years ago by Nvidia to comply with US regulations seeking to prevent powerful AI technologies from being used by countries it views as adversaries. In recent weeks, a group of Democratic senators sent a letter to White House officials criticising the move to allow the resumption of H20 sales to China, claiming that because of the GPU's improved power-efficiency and high-bandwidth memory chips, 'many PRC [People's Republic of China] firms reportedly prefer the H20 to other controlled chips'. That's hardly an indication a GPU design is obsolete. Late in July, in response to The National's inquires about concerns about the H20 being sold in China, Nvidia did not exactly describe the GPU as obsolete either. 'The H20 helps America win the support of developers worldwide, promoting America's economic and national security,' the statement read, emphasising the chip's deliberately modest attributes. 'It does not enhance anyone's military capabilities, and the US government has full visibility and authority over every H20 transactions.' Some Republicans have also described Nvidia's H20 as still relevant. Representative John Moolenaar, who chairs the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, recently opposed resuming exports of the H20 to China. 'The H20 is a stark improvement over what the Chinese can indigenously produce at scale,' he said during a speech at Purdue University's Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy. 'When, not if, these chips are diverted to [China's] People's Liberation Army supercomputer, they will substantially upgrade their ability to run advanced AI models.' H20 paranoia abounds Regardless of whether or not one considers the H20 to be obsolete, there is a tremendous amount of speculation surrounding the chip, with some of the paranoia coming from China, where there is demand for it. This month, Nvidia sought to debunk reports that claimed some of its chips had a backdoor kill switch, to blunt any misuse that might compromise national security. Some members of the US Congress have even sought to make it mandatory for certain chips to contain kill switches. 'Nvidia GPUs do not and should not have kill switches and backdoors,' a blog post from the company read. 'No kill switches, and no spyware … that's not how trustworthy systems are built – and never will be.' Despite those assurances, however, recent reports have indicated China still has concerns. According to Bloomberg, Chinese officials are telling various companies within the country to not use Nvidia's H20 over fears that the chips might be compromised and vulnerable to being exploited. The Chinese embassy in Washington has not yet responded to The National's requests for comment. Trump praises Nvidia's Blackwell architecture Despite ample conjecture about the H20 coupled with the varying opinions about Nvidia's sales of it to China, during Mr Trump's news conference on Monday, he made clear that the company's other GPU offerings would likely not be exported to China anytime soon, at least not without a few changes. Mr Trump said Nvidia's highly touted Blackwell GPUs would need to be toned down before he would consider allowing them to be sold in China. 'It's super-duper advanced and I wouldn't make a deal with that,' he said, before quickly giving himself some wiggle room. 'Although it's possible that I would make a deal if they enhanced it in a negative way.' Mr Trump said based on his conversations with Mr Huang, he's impressed with the Blackwell platform, adding that in terms of processing power, none of Nvidia's competitors have it, 'and they probably won't for five years'. As for the 15 per cent cut that the Trump White House wants for the H20 sales to China, on Tuesday, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said similar approaches might be applied to other companies and products, although she said specifics were still being worked out by the Department of Commerce. Some have questioned the constitutionality of the move, referring to it as a "reverse tariff".

'Game changer': New rupee rule to deepen trade ties with India, says senior UAE official
A senior UAE trade and investment official has called India's latest rupee trade reform a 'game changer' that will deepen economic ties between the two nations. He predicted that non-oil trade would cross the $100 billion mark well before 2030, a figure he said looked unthinkable until just a few years ago. He noted that the move will not only benefit large corporations but also open fresh opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises on both sides. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced on August 5 that Indian Category-I Authorised Dealer (AD) banks can now open Special Rupee Vostro Accounts (SRVAs) for foreign banks they already have correspondent relationships with, without needing prior RBI approval. What is an SRVA? An SRVA is a dedicated account that allows foreign banks to hold Indian rupees and process payments for trade with India. Until now, prior approval was mandatory. Industry experts say the change removes a long-standing barrier to local currency settlement. The reform has been widely hailed by UAE-based Indian business leaders, who say it will cut costs, speed up transactions, and strengthen the trade corridor between the two countries. Mohamed Haris, Chairman of Alhind Group, called it a positive step towards strengthening cross-border trade. He said the move will ease and speed up transactions between India and the UAE, benefiting businesses on both sides. Rohit Vachchani, co-founder and CEO of Merlin Group, said expanding the use of the rupee in cross-border trade and simplifying settlement processes will enhance efficiency and add resilience to the trade corridor. Historic bonds Highlighting the historic bonds between the UAE and India, the UAE official recalled how the Indian rupee was widely used in the Emirates in earlier decades. 'This reform builds on a long tradition of economic partnership,' he said. 'It will ease transactions, cut costs, and expand trade in ways that reflect our shared history and future ambitions.' 'Allowing settlement in rupees without prior approval will give Indian exporters a stronger competitive edge in the UAE and worldwide markets,' said Rayad Kamal Ayub, managing director of Rayad Group. Indian companies led by the tech industry would increasingly incorporate in the UAE, given the ease of doing business and tax benefits, he added. John Thomas of Dubai-based JV Thomson Chartered Accountants said the rules could encourage Indian companies hit by the recent 50 per cent US tariff on Indian goods to move manufacturing to Gulf countries, where tariffs are far lower. 'The UAE offers a strategic location, a favourable business environment, and a proven re-export model to the US,' he said. Exporters with large US orders are expected to lead the shift, followed by fast-moving consumer goods producers. The UAE is already a major destination for Indian investment, with more than 75,000 Indian companies registered with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce. Experts expect that number to rise sharply as more firms incorporate in the Emirates to leverage rupee settlement, CEPA benefits, and lower tariff exposure. Gagan Mehrotra, portfolio manager at Singapore-based Cocogem Fund, called it 'a visionary move' that will boost bilateral settlements without the 'cumbersome compliance' of third-currency transactions. 'A small Indian exporter can now bill in rupees without having to enter into complex foreign exchange contracts,' he said. The UAE is India's third-largest trading partner, with bilateral trade reaching $83.6 billion in 2023-24, according to India's Ministry of Commerce. Non-oil trade alone stood at $65 billion in 2024, boosted by the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) signed in 2022, which reduced tariffs on most goods. Many products now enter the UAE duty-free, and re-exports via UAE free zones can avoid duties entirely. Banking analysts say integrating payment systems, card networks, and payment messaging between the two countries will be key to maximising the benefits of the RBI's move.

GCC Luxury Brands must adapt: New report uncovers game-changing insights into Chinese consumer behaviour
CXG, a globally respected leader in customer experience transformation and a trusted partner of over 220 luxury brands in ever-evolving markets, has delivered a pivotal new report titled 'Understanding Chinese Luxury Customers' Sentiment in 2025 and Preparing for the Future.' Examining shifting behaviors across key demographics, this in-depth study reveals key insights into the current and projected priorities of China's affluent shoppers and how this affects international luxury brands in the region. This report delivers critical insights for Maisons, fashion houses, and premium retailers seeking to maintain their leadership and relevance among luxury's most influential consumers. In a market valued at approximately CNY 800 billion (USD 110 billion) in 2025, the report offers fresh, data-led insights into evolving Chinese consumer sentiment, providing critical intelligence for European and GCC luxury brands navigating a rapidly shifting landscape. Economic Confidence Is Faltering and Reshaping Spending Habits CXG's report shows that only 55% of Chinese luxury consumers are currently confident in an economic recovery. This is a marked decline from 83% in 2023 and has led to changing patterns of wealth management. 64% of respondents say they intend to save more over the next two years, with 83% feeling the need to secure their health, 68% reserving funds for future indulgence, 49% building a nest egg for retirement, and 46% planning for their children's education. This cautious approach has led to heightened price sensitivity. 54% of Chinese consumers now actively seek the best prices on luxury items, and 48% have already purchased 'dupes' (lower-priced alternatives), with a further 47% open to doing so in the future. The trend is particularly strong in apparel and accessories, where 67% and 64% of shoppers respectively are open to alternatives. Additionally, the weak yen is attracting luxury buyers to Japan, now the preferred destination for 40% of Chinese consumers, up from just 8% in 2023. This does not mean, however, that the appetite for high-quality products and services has diminished. 81% of survey respondents say they intend to resume luxury purchases such as watches and jewelry as soon as the economy improves. Gen Z, meanwhile, is leading a present-day increase in spending on well-being, luxury travel, and experiential entertainment. The Rise of Experiential Luxury In line with global trends led by Gen Z, China is seeing a shift in preferences away from objects and toward experiences. This increases the value of travel, leisure, wellness, events, and entertainment, all of which the report indicates are likely to see an upturn over the coming months and years, regardless of the economic environment. 53% of CXG survey respondents plan to increase their spending on well-being, 49% on luxury travel, and 34% on entertainment. Cultural Nuance: The Edge for Local Brands Though Western brands are still considered more prestigious by most, China's homegrown luxury products are now becoming increasingly valued due to the very nature of being locally created and owned. While the primary motivation for Gen Z's embrace of Chinese products is affordability, 75% of Millennials and 86% of Gen X respondents have cited cultural relevance as the most important factor in choosing local products over international equivalents. With 72% of all buyers now believing China's domestic brands better reflect their own heritage, competitors outside the region must invest in more localised and meaningful storytelling to maintain or grow their connection with Chinese consumers. The Store Strikes Back: In-Person Retail Still Dominates CXG's report also found that today's younger generations prefer making high-value purchases in multi-sensory in-person environments rather than through more remote online channels. This is particularly the case for purchases over CNY 15,000 (USD 2,000), with tactile shopping and personalised service valued highly at this level of spending. However, a significant finding of the report is that these desires are not always adequately met. Retail satisfaction varies significantly, with some categories scoring as low as 23–36% on customer advocacy. This presents an opportunity for European and GCC brands, especially those with flagship stores in Milan, Paris, or key GCC cities such as Dubai and Riyadh, to lead on retail experience through exceptional service, heritage storytelling, and personalised in-store experiences. CXG's report is both a reality check and a roadmap. From immersive retail and cultural storytelling to hyper-personalisation and human-led service, it outlines clear steps for luxury brands to maintain relevance in a complex and fast-changing market.
