NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang reaffirmed the company’s commitment to deepening cooperation with China during his recent visit to Beijing.
On April 17, Huang met with Ren Hongbin, chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade. This marks Huang’s return to the Chinese capital just three months after his previous visit, underscoring the importance of China’s market to NVIDIA.
“China remains a vital market for NVIDIA,” Huang emphasized. “We are eager to continue strengthening our collaboration here.”
Huang acknowledged that enhanced U.S. export controls on chips have significantly impacted NVIDIA’s business. Despite these challenges, he noted the rapid pace of competition in artificial intelligence (AI) globally, describing it as one of the most transformative technologies of our time.
“AI is accelerating innovation across industries worldwide,” Huang said. “It’s reshaping market structures, including in China.”
He highlighted NVIDIA’s longstanding presence in China, operating for over 30 years and growing alongside the local market. Huang cited China’s large consumer base, dynamic industrial ecosystem, and strong software capabilities as key drivers of NVIDIA’s innovation and global competitiveness.
“These factors have encouraged us to increase investment in research and development,” he explained. “We are committed to optimizing our products to meet regulatory requirements and serve the Chinese market effectively.”
Huang also shared how AI is transforming NVIDIA’s internal operations. “Nearly all our employees now use AI tools to assist with software development,” he revealed. “We’re applying AI in scientific research, chip design, and supply chain management.”
Looking ahead, Huang believes industries such as healthcare, financial services, climate science, and manufacturing are poised for significant changes driven by AI. “This transformation is still in its early stages,” he said. “The potential impact across sectors is immense.”
