China's top leadership has recently pledged to curb "involutionary" competition amid intense price wars in the country.

American chipmaking giant Nvidia (NVDA) says it plans to resume sales to China of an artificial intelligence chip that’s become part of a global race pitting the world’s biggest economies against each other.

By Jarrett Renshaw and Karen Freifeld WASHINGTON/BEIJING/HONG KONG (Reuters) -Nvidia's planned resumption of sales of its H20 AI chips to China is part of the United States' negotiations on rare earths,

Washington has been concerned China could use Nvidia’s chips to get a jump on the U.S. in high-tech fields, particularly when it comes to artificial intelligence.

China has invested billions into its artificial intelligence ambitions, aiming to be a leader in the global tech landscape. At the Beyond Expo in Macao, CNN’s Kristie Lu Stout explores the country’s latest breakthroughs and its growing influence in the world of AI.

Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang says the technology giant has won approval from the Trump administration to sell its advanced H20 computer chips used for artificial intelligence to China.

Commerce secretary Howard Lutnick said the US’s reversal of restrictions on sales of chips to China followed recent trade negotiations with Beijing over rare earths. President Donald Trump curbed exports of Nvidia’s H2O artificial intelligence chips to China in April as part of an escalation of his trade war with Beijing.

Nvidia stock spiked on Tuesday. The AI chip titan said it had received assurances from the administration that it can resume sales of key AI chips to China.

Sources say firms are rushing to buy Nvidia's H20 AI chips, as the company said it planned to resume sales to China.

Once celebrated as China's most promising AI agent, Manus has plunged into uncertainty after abruptly shifting its headquarters to Singapore and erasing its digital footprint from Chinese platforms. The abrupt reversal marks a dramatic rise-and-fall arc in under 100 days.

But the fact that America or China will win this contest should not turn other countries into mere spectators. Even more important for their economies and societies is the other AI race, the one for “everyday AI ”: the deployment and diffusion of the technology across the whole of the nation.
