Nvidia boss Jensen Huang brushes off US fears that China's military will use his firm's chips
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has downplayed US fears that his firm's chips will aid the Chinese military, days ahead of another trip to the country as he attempts to walk a tightrope between Washington and Beijing. In an interview with CNN aired Sunday, Mr Huang said 'we don't have to worry about' China's military using U.S.-made technology because 'they simply can't rely on it.' 'It could be limited at any time; not to mention, there's plenty of computing capacity in China already,' Huang said. 'They don't need Nvidia's chips, certainly, or American tech stacks in order to build their military,' he said. The comments were made in reference to years of bipartisan U.S. policy that placed restrictions on semiconductor companies, prohibiting them from selling their most advanced artificial intelligence chips to clients in China. Huang also repeated past criticisms of the policies, arguing that the tactic of export controls has been counterproductive to the ultimate goal of US tech leadership. 'We want the American tech stack to be the global standard ... in order for us to do that, we have to be in search of all the AI developers in the world,' Huang said, adding that half of the world's AI developers are in China. That means for America to be an AI leader, U.S. technology has to be available to all markets, including China, he added. Washington's latest restrictions on Nvidia's sales to China were implemented in April and are expected to result in billions in losses for the company. In May, Huang said chip restrictions had already cut Nvidia's China market share nearly in half. Huang's CNN interview came just days before he travels to China for his second trip to the country this year, and as Nvidia is reportedly working on another chip that is compliant with the latest export controls. Last week, the Nvidia CEO met with U.S. President Donald Trump, and was warned by U.S. lawmakers not to meet with companies connected to China's military or intelligence bodies, or entities named on America's restricted export list. According to Daniel Newman, CEO of tech advisory firm The Futurum Group, Huang's CNN interview exemplifies how Huang has been threading a needle between Washington and Beijing as it tries to maintain maximum market access. 'He needs to walk a proverbial tightrope to make sure that he doesn't rattle the Trump administration,' Newman said, adding that he also wants to be in a position for China to invest in Nvidia technology if and when the policy provides a better climate to do so.
