NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang landed in Beijing on April 17 for his second visit this year, underlining the company’s long-standing ties with the Chinese mainland.
In a meeting with Ren Hongbin, chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, Huang stressed that China remains a “vital market” for NVIDIA’s growth. He praised the region’s “large consumer base, dynamic industrial ecosystem, and strong software capabilities” as drivers that have fueled three decades of collaboration.
Huang noted that recent U.S. export controls on chips have challenged NVIDIA’s global supply chain, but he views the intensifying competition in artificial intelligence (AI) as a launchpad for innovation. “AI is transforming industries—and we’re only at the beginning,” he said.
Data from NVIDIA shows that nearly 100% of its workforce now leverages AI tools for software development, while the technology is also being applied to chip design, scientific research, and supply chain management. Huang believes sectors like healthcare, finance, climate science, and manufacturing are set for “disruptive changes driven by AI.”
Looking ahead, NVIDIA plans to optimize its product lineup to meet regulatory frameworks and maintain its commitment to serving customers in the Chinese mainland. The company is set to ramp up investment in research and development, aiming to capture the next wave of AI-driven market shifts.
For young tech enthusiasts and global entrepreneurs, Huang’s visit signals that despite geopolitical headwinds, innovation partnerships across borders continue to shape the future of AI.
