Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on selling AI chips to China: ‘It’s in the best interest of America to…’

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang challenged US export controls on advanced semiconductors, arguing that continued technology collaboration and access to the Chinese market are ultimately in America’s best interest. Speaking to reporters in South Korea this week, Huang described China as a “singular, vital, important, dynamic market, and nobody can replace that.” He asserted he would continue campaigning for full access to this market, stating he is “optimistic” that China will remain a key consumer of US chips.

“It’s in the best interest of America to serve that China market. It’s in the best interest of China to have the American technology company bring … technology to the China market … It’s in the best interest of both countries, and I hope that policymakers will ultimately come to that conclusion,” Huang said.
