NVIDIA boss Jensen Huang expects China to eventually open its market to high-end US chips that can train and run artificial intelligence systems.<\/p>\n

But he did not discuss sales of the powerful H200 model<\/a> with top officials in Beijing, the businessman told Bloomberg Television<\/em> in an interview broadcast on Monday.<\/p>\n

Huang travelled to the country last week with US President Donald Trump<\/a>, who met Chinese President Xi Jinping<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The superpowers are in a fierce race for AI supremacy, and the H200 chip had until recently been barred from sale in China by Washington over national security concerns.<\/p>\n

However, there is no sign that Chinese tech companies are buying them, as Beijing ramps up domestic chip development in a bid to challenge US dominance in the key sector.<\/p>\n

“H200s are licensed to sell to China. But the Chinese government has to decide how much of their local market they want to protect,” Huang said.<\/p>\n

“My sense is that over time the market will open,” added Huang, CEO of Nvidia — the world’s most valuable company, due to huge demand for its AI hardware.<\/p>\n

Trump said in December he had reached an agreement with Xi to ease the restrictions on H200 chips, a move some US lawmakers have warned could help the Chinese military.<\/p>\n

Xi told a delegation of US business executives on Thursday that China would “open wider” to the world.
“American companies will enjoy even brighter prospects in China,” Xi said, Chinese state media reported.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg Television<\/em> asked Huang whether he spoke to Xi and Prime Minister Li Qiang about his chips.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t discuss directly with them about H200”, although “President Trump had some conversations with the leaders”, he replied.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
