"The world doesn't realize how much the AI industry depends on scientists from China" Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said global AI progress depends heavily on Chinese researchers.

He argued the U.S. cannot realistically decouple its tech sector from China, despite tighter chip export controls.

Huang said Taiwan will remain central to advanced chip manufacturing and noted Nvidia’s interest in keeping markets open.

His comments underline how deeply AI talent, chip supply chains, and U.S.-China tensions are interconnected.
