Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has lauded the Chinese mainland’s supply chain as a “miracle,” emphasizing the country’s deep expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science. Speaking at the China International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing on Thursday, Huang highlighted the complexity and sophistication of China’s technological ecosystem.
“The supply chain of China is a miracle. It is the largest and most complex in the world, not just about labor, but built on deep technology, AI, and software,” Huang told reporters at the event.
Huang, who has visited China frequently this year, underscored the critical role of Chinese firms in the global tech landscape. “China is one of the few regions in the world with deep expertise in computer science,” he said. “The architecture and algorithms used to serve such a large population are incredibly sophisticated.”
Amid growing tensions between the U.S. and China in the tech sector, Huang stressed the importance of continued collaboration. “We rely on the global supply chain to build very complicated products,” he noted, adding that Nvidia contributes software and hardware that power systems worldwide.
“Supply chain is connection. It takes many suppliers and providers around the world connected together in a supply chain,” Huang emphasized during the interview.
Last week, Nvidia reached a significant milestone, becoming the first company ever to touch a $4 trillion market value.
Looking ahead, Huang described AI as the next major technological revolution, though he acknowledged it is still in its early stages. “The last 10 to 12 years were about preparing for today. Now, AI can reason, think, and understand information. It’s incredible,” he said.
Addressing concerns about AI safety, Huang called for responsible development. “We have to continue to advance the technology safely,” he said, highlighting cybersecurity and environmental monitoring as key areas of focus.
When asked about the Chinese mainland’s role in AI development, Huang pointed to the region’s large pool of researchers and strong interest in science and mathematics. “China has great researchers perfectly prepared for this moment,” he remarked.
