Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang speaks to journalists during a press conference at the Mandarin Oriental Qianmen after attending the third China International Supply Chain Expo, in Beijin

Jensen Huang, the chipmaker’s chief executive, is trying to balance his company’s interests as the United States and China compete for supremacy in artificial intelligence.

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.
