As America and China swap shots in the trade battle served up by Donald Trump, Mr Huang has pinged and ponged between Washington and Beijing to reassure both sides it is in their mutual interest to let his company keep selling some of its artificial-intelligence ( AI) chips to Chinese buyers.

"They don't need Nvidia's chips ... to build their military," Jensen Huang said in a CNN interview aired Sunday, days ahead of another trip to China.

China's Commerce Minister Wang Wentao told Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Thursday that he hoped multinational companies, including Nvidia, would provide high-quality and reliable products and services to Chinese customers,

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's visit to Beijing involved praising China's tech and EVs, even calling them world-class. This occurred after the U.S. relaxed AI chip sale rules as part of a trade agreement.

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.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said on Wednesday his firm was "doing our best" to serve China's vast market for semiconductors after meeting Beijing officials.

The sales resumption of Nvidia's H20 processors and Advanced Micro Devices' (AMD) MI308 chips in China is expected to ease the anxiety of local artificial intelligence companies, according to analysts.
