Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently addressed growing concerns about the Chinese military using American AI chips. In an interview with CNN, he stated he’s not worried about Nvidia’s products ending up in Beijing’s hands, despite tightening export restrictions from the U.S.
💬 “We’re Too Unreliable for China’s Military”
According to Huang, it would be impractical for China’s military to rely on U.S. technology, since it can be restricted at any moment. “That makes us an unstable partner. And they know it,” Huang said ahead of his second trip to China this year.
Despite escalating geopolitical tensions, Nvidia is trying to balance its position as a global AI leader with increasing political pressure from Washington, which aims to isolate China from cutting-edge technologies.
⚖️ Huang Warns: U.S. Risks Technological Isolation
Huang has long criticized U.S. export rules, calling them a threat to America's leadership in AI. He stressed that half of all AI developers are located in China, and the U.S. cannot maintain global dominance if it cuts them off.
“We want the U.S. tech stack to become the global standard. But that requires engaging developers everywhere, not just in allied countries,” he said.
These restrictions are already having a strong impact — in May, Nvidia lost nearly 50% of its market share in China due to new export bans implemented in April. Still, the company plans a comeback, developing a new chip that complies with export rules while allowing business continuity in China.
🧠 Trump, DeepSeek, and a Delicate Balance
The interview came shortly after Huang met with President Trump, who warned him against working with Chinese companies linked to the military. Several of these firms are already on the U.S. export blacklist.
One example is the AI startup DeepSeek, which reportedly trained its R1 language model using Nvidia chips and has suspected links to Chinese military and intelligence entities. Huang responded by urging caution, stating: “Just because R1 was developed in China doesn’t mean it’s inherently dangerous.” He praised its open-source nature and called it a revolutionary tool for democratizing AI access.
🌍 “We’re Rivals, But We Depend on Each Other”
Huang concluded the interview by emphasizing the economic interdependence between the U.S. and China:
“The U.S. and China are competitors, but also deeply connected. As long as we compete with mutual respect, that’s okay.”
He remains committed to keeping Nvidia active in both markets, navigating a tricky path between political boundaries and technological innovation.
