‘They don't need…certainly...': Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on concerns over China military using US chips
has pushed back against US concerns that his company's chips could aid the Chinese military. His comments come as Huang prepares for his second trip to China this year for which he has also been sent a 'warning letter' by some US senators.
Speaking in a CNN interview, Huang asserted that the Chinese military "don't need Nvidia's chips, certainly, or American tech stacks in order to build their military,' elaborating, 'they simply can't rely on it' because US technology 'could be limited at any time; not to mention, there's plenty of computing capacity in China already.'
These remarks address US policy that restricts advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chip sales to China. Huang has previously criticised these export controls, arguing they are 'counterproductive' to the US's goal of maintaining tech leadership.
'Want American tech stack to be the global standard': Huang
He stressed that for the 'American tech stack to be the global standard,' the technology must be accessible to AI developers worldwide, including the 50% located in China.

The latest US restrictions on Nvidia's sales to China, implemented in April, are projected to result in billions in losses for the company. In May, Huang noted that previous chip restrictions had already cut Nvidia's China market share by nearly half.
Nvidia
is reportedly developing a new chip that complies with the latest export controls. Last week, the Nvidia CEO met with US President Donald Trump, and lawmakers reportedly cautioned him against engaging with companies linked to China's military or intelligence, or those on America's restricted export list.
Huang has also addressed concerns about DeepSeek's open-source R1 reasoning model, which was trained in China. While acknowledging the concerns, he stated there was no evidence that its origin alone presented dangers. He praised the R1 model as 'revolutionary' and noted its open-source nature empowers startups, new industries, and countries to participate in AI development.

Taiwan Shuts Down Key Bridge For Military Drill To Stop Chinese Forces From Entering Taipei
TAIPEI: Taiwan's Armed Forces shut a key bridge in Greater Taipei on Tuesday for a military drill, simulating Taipei's effort to stop Chinese forces from moving towards the capital city, Central News Agency (CNA) reported. The Wanban Bridge, which links New Taipei's Banqiao District to Taipei's Wanhua District, was entirely shut down from 11 pm (local time) on Monday to 6 am (local time) on Tuesday to facilitate the drill. Troops constructed a four-tier blockade on the 690-meter span within two hours, demonstrating Taiwan's rapid response capability against potential Chinese ground incursions. The blockade combined military fortifications with civilian resources, layered roadblocks, barbed wire, city buses, and newly acquired Hesco bastions, modern wire mesh barriers used in war zones like Iraq and Afghanistan. The exercise simulated a People's Liberation Army (PLA) attempt to breach the bridge using disguised military vehicles, a plausible "gray zone" tactic often employed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to blur the line between war and peace. Early this morning, the ROCMP simulated the defense of Wanban Bridge, which connects Taipei's government center to New Taipei City. The bridge was barricaded and defended using anti-tank equipment, including Javelin missile systems. Source & MND/MNA — Taiwan Security Monitor (@TaiwanMonitor) July 14, 2025 Military police deployed drones to detect the simulated enemy before engaging in a defensive firefight. In the scenario, PLA units broke through three of the four barricade layers before being neutralised by Taiwanese snipers and armoured "Clouded Leopard" vehicles. The operation concluded with full bridge clearance and spot checks. Taiwan's Ministry of National Defence emphasised that the drill is part of a broader campaign to strengthen urban warfare readiness and prevent enemy advances toward critical government and infrastructure hubs like the Presidential Office Building. Tuesday marked the seventh day of Taiwan's longest-ever live-fire phase of the Han Kuang exercises, which run through July 18. This year's extended duration, double that of previous drills, underscores Taiwan's growing sense of urgency amid China's escalating military coercion. The bridge drill served as both training and deterrent, a reminder to Beijing that Taiwan's defences are vigilant, resilient, and prepared to fight for their freedom.

Cuban cautioned that the technology's unpredictability and potential misuse is highly possible. Billionaire Mark Cuban says he is a big fan of AI As reported by CNBC, speaking at the High Performance podcast, Cuban revealed that he uses AI for almost everything today. Cuban said that he uses AI to write codes with the help of the Replit app. 'It's insane how much I use it right now. I downloaded this app, Replit, and you just type in ... I want to be able to compare pharmacy costs between my company and these other companies, and every time the price changes send me alerts,' said Cuban. Additionally, he also takes help of AI in making text-to-video content for the NBA's Dallas Mavericks as he's the monitor owner on the team. And he also uses AI to monitor his health regularly. 'I just [went to ChatGPT] and I was like ... I'm going to tell you when I take my medicine and when I do my workout, and I want you to record it all. If there's something there that I write down that you think is not right or I should be concerned about, let me know,' added Cuban. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Đây có thể là thời điểm tốt nhất để giao dịch vàng trong 5 năm qua IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Mark Cuban warns about the dangers of using AI Cuban also emphasised on the potential dangers of using AI.

'You've got to be careful ... It's like talking to a friend who you think knows a lot about something. You've still got to be careful and talk to an expert,' said Cuban. He advise the users to use AI with caution and skepticism. He also tells users to fact-check all the responses and work on prompt-engineering in order to make the most of AI. He believes that AI can propose millions of solutions in a second but human judgment is still indispensable.

During an appearance on the "High Performance" podcast, Cuban made this prediction. In the podcast, Cuban said: 'The technology is changing so quickly. Somebody will come up with a new way to utilise it in a way we never thought about before. But AI just drawfs all that. We haven't seen the best or the craziest of what's its going to be able to do.

‘Illegal, unilateral sanctions…': China hits out at Donald Trump's tariff threat for Russia's allies; says ‘coercion will not…'
China emerged as Russia's primary trading partner in the previous year, with a substantial 34 percent share, whilst India, Turkey and Belarus followed. (AI image) US President Donald Trump's fresh tariff threat for Russia's allies has not gone down well with China, with the latter hitting out at America's 'coercion' tactics. China has expressed strong disapproval on Tuesday regarding the United States' pressure tactics, following President Donald Trump's warning of "very severe" tariffs against Russia's remaining trade partners if the Ukraine conflict remains unresolved within 50 days. "China firmly opposes all illegal unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction. There are no winners in a tariff war, and coercion and pressure will not solve problems," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian has said according to an AFP report. Donald Trump's Latest Tariff Threat The US President Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum to Russia, demanding an end to the Ukraine conflict within 50 days, threatening substantial economic consequences. He outlined strategies to provide military support to Kyiv through NATO channels. Trump expressed strong disapproval of Vladimir Putin's actions, indicating that his tolerance regarding the Russian leader's unwillingness to resolve the ongoing conflict had reached its limit.

The US leader further explained that additional tariffs would target nations maintaining trade relations with Russia, aiming to restrict Moscow's capacity to withstand existing Western sanctions. China emerged as Russia's primary trading partner in the previous year, with a substantial 34 percent share, whilst India, Turkey and Belarus followed with considerably smaller percentages, as reported by the Russian Federal Customs Service. Both US Senators, Republican Lindsey Graham and Democrat Richard Blumenthal, expressed their approval of Trump's "powerful" warning to Russia.
