dongguan china

We were invited by the Philippine distributor of GE digital cameras and AgfaPhoto to visit their ODM (official device manufacturer) in Dongguan, China. Since there was no direct flight from Manila to Dongguan City, we had to go thru Hong Kong and take a bus to cross the Chinese border towards Guangdong province. The United States has approved the export of Nvidia’s H200 AI processors to China, but with a steep 25% fee. Nvidia welcomed the decision, calling it a balanced approach, but critics in Washington warned that it could boost China’s military and surveillance capabilities. The H200 is far more powerful than the downgraded H20 chips currently sold in China, though it still trails Nvidia’s latest Blackwell processors, which remain restricted. Only vetted commercial customers in China will be allowed to buy the H200, with the U.S. Analysts believe Beijing may ease its stance toward Nvidia following Trump’s talks with President Xi, but in the long run, China is expected to continue investing heavily in its own AI chips through companies like Huawei, Cambricon, and Moore Threads. If China gains access to more advanced processors, we could see faster adoption of AI-driven smartphones, laptops, and cloud services in Asia.
