Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang praised China's AI models a day after the U.S. chipmaker said it expected to resume sales of a key product to China. "More than 1.5 million developers in China build on Nvidia today to bring their innovations to life," he said.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang delivered a rare Mandarin-language keynote at the China International Supply Chain Expo on July 16, appearing in traditional Chinese attire. His presence underscored Nvidia's growing engagement with China's fast-evolving AI landscape.

Huang is now richer than LVMH’s Bernard Arnault ($147.9 billion) and just behind Google co-founder Larry Page ($150.6 billion).

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 hailed Chinese AI models like DeepSeek as world-class, adding that AI is ‘fundamental infrastructure’ akin to electricity. Speaking in Beijing, he called China's open-source AI a ‘catalyst for global progress’.

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.
