Nvidia’s Jensen Huang: China Is 'Not Our Enemy,' US Chip Policy a 'Mistake'
Would anything justify refusing to sell chips to China? Emily Chang puts that question to Jensen Huang, whose answer centers on respecting China's pursuit of prosperity rather than naming a circumstance that would warrant a cutoff.
In the Bloomberg Originals excerpt, Nvidia's chief argues that American restrictions have been a policy mistake that is difficult to reverse. He says he urged US policymakers to recognize the importance of engaging with the Chinese market, and describes China as a competitor rather than an enemy.
His argument goes beyond selling hardware. Huang says China's concentration of AI researchers makes dialogue necessary for addressing the technology's risks. "If we care deeply about the safety of the world with respect to artificial intelligence, then of course we must open dialogues," he tells Chang.
When she asks about limits on chip sales, Huang answers by drawing a parallel between national ambitions: "We want America to be rich. They want China to be rich. And we should respect that aspiration." He closes by arguing that China's reduction of poverty has benefited other countries, including the US.
The Short drew roughly 30,000 views in eight hours, an early pace far above the channel's usual start for that format. Bloomberg says the interview was filmed less than a month ago for The Circuit, before Huang acknowledged an affair and Nvidia's board began an investigation. The excerpt captures his policy position before those developments, not a response to them.
