Nvidia CEO's China charm offensive underscores rock star status in key market
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is no stranger to Beijing, but his most recent visit, his third to China this year, cemented his rock star status in the country, where fans mingled freely with the AI titan on the streets of the capital. It was a rare sight for a chief executive of one of the world's most powerful companies to roam around Beijing, engage in wide-ranging interviews, take selfies with excited fans and even sign leather jackets - a signature clothing item of the billionaire - for his devoted followers. The tycoon at the helm of the world's most valuable company arrived in Beijing for a supply chain expo last week just days after meeting U.S. President Donald Trump and announced the AI giant would once again be able to sell its H20 chips in China following a U.S. ban in April on national security concerns. Huang's company is caught in the cross-hairs of a U.S.-China trade war that threatens to upend supply chains as both countries battle for global dominance in AI and other cutting-edge technologies, threatening Nvidia's $17 billion China business. While Huang appears to be navigating a delicate tightrope between Beijing and Washington well, the company remains subject to the ups and downs of Sino-U.S. tensions, analysts said. "Jensen Huang's visit aimed to demonstrate Nvidia's commitment to the Chinese market," said Lian Jye Su, a chief analyst at tech research firm Omdia. "However, this commitment must be balanced against potential U.S. government concerns about deepening ties with China." Huang described AI models from Chinese firms Deepseek , Alibaba and Tencent as "world class" and his official engagements included a "wonderful" meeting with Chinese trade tsar and Vice Premier He Lifeng and a face-to-face with Commerce Minister Wang Wentao. Demand for H20 chips surged in China following the launch of DeepSeek models in January. "Nvidia will still need to see the tide clearly and ride it at the right time to maximize the available benefits. But good for the company, I think it has a CEO who's very good at doing that," said Tilly Zhang, a technology analyst with Gavekal Dragonomics. Charlie Chai, an analyst with 86Research, said Nvidia's China market share was likely to slide in years to come. "The Chinese government will actively help or subsidize domestic rivals that can one day stand up to and, at least in some use cases, replace high-end Nvidia chips." Selfies and Autographs In an unusual sight for a global CEO visiting China, videos posted on social media platforms showed Huang wandering the streets of Beijing, drink in hand, signing notebooks and posing for selfies. In response to questions about how Washington would likely receive his latest visit to Beijing, the CEO said: "I told President Trump and his cabinet that I was coming to China. Told him about my trip here, and he said, 'Have a great trip'." At the opening of the China International Supply Chain Expo last Wednesday, Huang - who was born in Taiwan but moved to the U.S. at the age of nine - traded his signature leather jacket for a black, traditional Chinese-style jacket and referred to himself in a speech as "Chinese". In his Expo speech, as well as in later comments, Huang was effusive in his praise for Chinese tech giants' capabilities in bringing technology into applications, describing China's supply chain as "vast". Even arch rival Huawei Technologies, a firm that Nvidia is locked in a strategic and intensifying battle for AI chip dominance with, was lauded. "I think the fact of the matter is, anyone who discounts Huawei and anyone who discounts China's manufacturing capability is deeply naive. This is a formidable company," Huang told reporters.

AI diplomacy: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's Beijing visit draws fan frenzy; chipmaker reopens H20 sales in China
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's recent visit to Beijing has sparked a wave of public enthusiasm, with videos on Chinese social media showing the billionaire executive signing autographs, posing for selfies, and mingling with fans on the streets—an unusual sight for a global tech CEO. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This marked Huang's third visit to China in 2025 and coincided with the reopening of H20 chip sales in the country following a US-imposed ban in April. The head of the world's most valuable company arrived in China last week to attend the China International Supply Chain Expo, just days after meeting US President Donald Trump. Huang's presence in Beijing came amid growing geopolitical tensions and trade restrictions between Washington and Beijing, with Nvidia's $17 billion China business caught in the middle of an intensifying technology rivalry, Reuters reported. "Jensen Huang's visit aimed to demonstrate Nvidia's commitment to the Chinese market," said Lian Jye Su, chief analyst at Omdia. "However, this commitment must be balanced against potential US government concerns about deepening ties with China." In Beijing, Huang praised Chinese AI models developed by DeepSeek, Alibaba, and Tencent as 'world class', and said demand for Nvidia's H20 chips had surged since the launch of DeepSeek models in January. He also held meetings with senior Chinese officials, including Vice Premier and trade tsar He Lifeng and Commerce Minister Wang Wentao, which he described as 'wonderful'. "Nvidia will still need to see the tide clearly and ride it at the right time to maximize the available benefits. But good for the company, I think it has a CEO who's very good at doing that," said Tilly Zhang, a technology analyst with Gavekal Dragonomics, quoted Reuters. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Despite the warm reception, some analysts say Nvidia's dominance in China could face long-term challenges. "The Chinese government will actively help or subsidize domestic rivals that can one day stand up to and, at least in some use cases, replace high-end Nvidia chips," said Charlie Chai, an analyst with 86Research. When asked how US officials reacted to his China trip, Huang told reporters, 'I told President Trump and his cabinet that I was coming to China. Told him about my trip here, and he said, 'Have a great trip'." At the Expo, Huang wore a traditional black Chinese-style jacket instead of his trademark leather one and referred to himself as "Chinese" during his speech. He lauded the scale of China's supply chain as 'vast' and praised even strategic rival Huawei Technologies. "I think the fact of the matter is, anyone who discounts Huawei and anyone who discounts China's manufacturing capability is deeply naive. This is a formidable company," Huang said.
