Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Expresses Disappointment Over China's Reported Chip Ban
The boss of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, has expressed disappointment over reports that China is banning the use of his company's artificial intelligence (AI) chips, citing concerns about access to technology globally. According to sources close to the matter, the move comes as US President Donald Trump prepares to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Huang emphasized that the advancement of human society is not a zero-sum game, implying that both countries can benefit from technological advancements without one being at the expense of the other. "The advance of human society is not a zero-sum game," Huang told BBC News. "We need to make sure that people can access this technology from all over the world, including China."
This latest development follows a previous ban on Nvidia selling its most advanced chips to China, which was reversed in July. The move has sparked concerns about the impact on global trade and technological advancements. According to Huang, President Trump is clear about his stance: "He wants America to win, and President Xi wants China to win, and it's a zero-sum game." However, Huang disagrees with this approach, arguing that both countries can benefit from technological advancements.
The ban has significant implications for Nvidia, which relies heavily on international sales. The company's AI chips are used in various industries, including gaming, automotive, and healthcare. According to estimates, China accounts for a significant portion of Nvidia's global sales. The ban is likely to have a negative impact on the company's revenue and growth prospects.
The move by China has sparked concerns about the country's growing restrictions on foreign technology companies. In recent months, Beijing has imposed strict regulations on foreign firms operating in China, citing national security concerns. This latest development raises questions about the future of global trade and technological cooperation between the US and China.
In a statement, Nvidia said it was "disappointed" by the reported ban and would continue to work with Chinese authorities to resolve the issue. The company has not commented on the potential impact on its business or revenue prospects.
The meeting between Trump and Xi is expected to focus on trade and technological cooperation between the two countries. However, the reported chip ban has cast a shadow over the talks, raising concerns about the future of global trade and technological advancements.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how this latest development will impact global trade and technological cooperation between the US and China. One thing is clear: the advancement of human society depends on access to technology, and restrictions on foreign companies operating in China are likely to have far-reaching consequences.
