Nvidia CEO Optimistic About Blackwell Chips in China, Says Final Decision Is Political
Seoul, South Korea — Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang expressed hope on Friday that the company’s next-generation Blackwell chips could eventually be sold in China, while emphasizing that the ultimate decision rests with the U.S. government.
Speaking during his first official visit to South Korea in over ten years, Huang addressed concerns over U.S. national security regulations that restrict the sale of advanced technology to China. He questioned the rationale behind limiting sales, noting that China’s own AI chips are already capable of meeting the military’s needs.
Huang also commented on the recent high-level talks between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Seoul, describing the meeting as a positive step for international relations, though he did not have details on the discussions.
The Nvidia CEO’s remarks highlight the ongoing tension between technological innovation and geopolitical considerations, as U.S. companies navigate strict export controls on AI and semiconductor technologies.
