Nvidia CEO to hold media briefing in Beijing this week
Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang is set to host a press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday, according to a company official. This will be his second visit to China following his trip in April, during which he emphasized the significance of the Chinese market.
Since 2022, the U.S. government has restricted the export of Nvidia’s most advanced chips to China, citing concerns about potential military use.
Earlier this year, the U.S. also banned the sale of Nvidia’s H20 artificial intelligence chips to China, which were the company’s most potent AI chips approved for Chinese sales.
Huang’s visit is being closely monitored in both the U.S. and China.
Last week, a bipartisan pair of U.S. senators wrote a letter to Huang regarding his trip to China, urging him to avoid meeting with companies collaborating with Chinese military or intelligence organizations.
The senators also requested Huang to steer clear of entities listed on the U.S.’ restricted export list.
According to Nvidia’s latest annual report, China contributed $17 billion in revenue for the company in the fiscal year ending Jan. 26, representing 13% of its total sales.
Huang has consistently emphasized the importance of the Chinese market for Nvidia’s growth.
