"After the White House sent out its list, Cisco said its chief executive, Chuck Robbins, was unable to attend ... .Jensen Huang, the chief executive of Nvidia, wasn't invited and won't be going to China this week, according to a person familiar with Mr. Huang's plans. His absence comes as Nvidia, the world's most valuable company, awaits approval from both China and the United States to begin shipping an early model of the company's A.I. chips, the H200, to China."
