Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's visit to Beijing involved praising China's tech and EVs, even calling them world-class. This occurred after the U.S. relaxed AI chip sale rules as part of a trade agreement.

Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang held a lengthy interview with over 30 Chinese media outlets in Beijing, addressing issues ranging from the recent resumption of H20 chip sales in China to Huawei's standing in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).

Jensen Huang extolled China’s technological advances and said President Trump wouldn’t mind his meetings in Beijing.

The approvals mark a major reversal after April’s sweeping restrictions, imposed by the Trump administration, barred companies from selling certain advanced semiconductors to China. Those rules left Nvidia facing a $4.5 billion inventory write-down, as it had no alternative buyers for its H20 chips.

Jensen Huang, the chipmaker’s chief executive, is trying to balance his company’s interests as the United States and China compete for supremacy in artificial intelligence.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hailed Chinese AI models like DeepSeek as world-class, adding that AI is ‘fundamental infrastructure’ akin to electricity. Speaking in Beijing, he called China's open-source AI a ‘catalyst for global progress’.

Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang spent months telling everyone what a grave mistake the US was making restricting shipments of artificial intelligence processors to China — with little sign that his argument was swaying anyone.
