Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently visited China to celebrate Chinese New Year with employees and reaffirm the company’s commitment

When Taiwanese media reported on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang dining with TSMC, supply chain partners, and AI server company executives, curiosity arose about the VIPs accompanying Huang during his visits

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's recent low-profile visit to China has reaffirmed the company's strategic focus on this crucial market amid tightening US restrictions on advanced semiconductor exports.

Jensen Huang is set to tour the mainland Chinese cities of Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing, before flying to Taipei later this week.

In 2023, smartphones-to-silicon conglomerate Huawei quietly released its flagship Mate 60 Pro handset. The launch, while muted, was worth celebrating in the People’s Republic: the device featured a made-in-China chip that had previously seemed out of reach amid crippling US sanctions.

Meanwhile, a slew of other tech executives including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg are reportedly set to attend the events on Monday.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made a low-key visit to China, as he conveyed the company’s commitment to one of its largest markets amid heightened US export restrictions on advanced chips.

ByteDance, the Chinese owner of TikTok, has earmarked over 150 billion yuan ($20.64 billion) in capital expenditure for this year, much of which will be centred on artificial intelligence, two people briefed on the matter said.

The Nvidia CEO is due to arrive in Shenzhen for employees’ annual Lunar New Year celebrations around Jan 15, days before US President-elect Donald Trump gets sworn in for a second term.

(Yicai) Jan. 20 -- Jensen Huang, the chief executive of Nvidia, was in Beijing yesterday to attend the Chinese New Year celebration of the US chip giant's local subsidiary.

The CEO also confirmed plans to attend similar celebrations in Beijing next week, as part of Nvidia’s efforts to engage with its workforce and partners across Asia.

Nvidia Corp chief Jensen Huang is embarking on a trip to China this week, visiting major cities at a time Beijing is investigating his company’s domestic presence and Washington is slapping new curbs on the sale of its AI chips abroad.
