Nvidia's Huang Renxun's Bold China Visit: "Don't Block Us! China's Chips Are Already Here!"

Amidst US-China Tech Tensions, Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun Highlights China's Chipmaking Prowess, Sparking Debate.

As tensions escalate in the US-China trade war, with former US President Trump urging companies to choose sides, Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun made a notable visit to Beijing on the 17th. He emphasized the importance of the Chinese market, signaling that Nvidia isn't abandoning it. Reports suggest that Nvidia privately opposes the latest restrictions, arguing that China can now produce chips equivalent to its "China-specific" H20 chip. This raises the question: "Don't block us! China's self-made chips have already broken through."

According to a report from Guancha.cn, the US government has implemented new restrictions. On April 15th, it was announced that the export of Nvidia's H20 chips, AMD's MI308 chips, and similar AI chips to China would require a license. The Wall Street Journal believes this latest export restriction has shaken global markets, potentially blocking Nvidia and AMD from supplying billions of dollars' worth of AI chips to China, exposing a "dual ambition" to contain China in the technology and trade sectors.
