Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hints China market may open to US chipmakers

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said on Monday that ‌he believes China's market will open up to U.S. chip suppliers after accompanying U.S. President Donald Trump on a trip to China last week.

Nvidia has received licenses from the U.S. government to sell its H200 chips but has not received approval from Chinese officials, who are ‌fostering China's own chip suppliers.

Trump's talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping produced no immediate breakthrough for Nvidia to sell H200 chips.

"My sense is that over time, the market will open," Huang said in an interview with Bloomberg Television at an event hosted by Dell.

His comments are also strategic. NVIDIA has a strong commercial interest in China, especially for AI and data-center chips. 

By signaling optimism, Huang is highlighting the importance of keeping that market accessible while acknowledging current limits.

Huang says the China market may open over time; political and trade tensions could ease, allowing more normal business to resume. 

This could happen if both countries reach broader trade or technology agreements.
