Behind closed doors with Trump. Center stage in Beijing. Nvidia (NVDA) just pulled off the tech pivot of the year.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang visits China, praises its electric vehicles and tech innovation, calls Xiaomi a miracle, and hopes for stronger US-China tech ties.

Chinese Vice-Premier He Lifeng has criticised policies that seek the return of manufacturing back to home countries through tariffs and restrictions, without mentioning the US by name. The top trade negotiator made the remarks at the opening of the third China International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing.

Jensen Huang, the chipmaker’s chief executive, is trying to balance his company’s interests as the United States and China compete for supremacy in artificial intelligence.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hailed Chinese AI models like DeepSeek as world-class, adding that AI is ‘fundamental infrastructure’ akin to electricity. Speaking in Beijing, he called China's open-source AI a ‘catalyst for global progress’.

Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang spent months telling everyone what a grave mistake the US was making restricting shipments of artificial intelligence processors to China — with little sign that his argument was swaying anyone.
