Beijing appears to be softening its stance on Nvidia’s H200 graphics processing units (GPUs), with Chinese policymakers and commentators shifting their focus from outright rejection to the practical question of how the chips would be governed in use. When Reuters reported on November 21 that the US Commerce Department was considering allowing exports of the H200 to China, Chinese commentators warned that the artificial intelligence (AI) chips could be “sugar-coated bullets” that would entrench Nvidia’s market dominance and slow the long-term development of China’s domestic chip-making sector.

The order concerns computer files and communications that investigators obtained years…

The ancestor of today’s 6-meter (20-foot) great white shark was thought to be about 8 meters (26 feet) long, the authors of…
