Overview

  • Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jim Banks warned Huang to refrain from meeting Chinese companies on the U.S. restricted export list or those linked to military or intelligence bodies.
  • Huang is set to meet senior Chinese officials, including the commerce minister, at the International Supply Chain Expo following Nvidia’s brief rise to a $4 trillion market valuation.
  • Nvidia plans to introduce a lower-spec, export-compliant version of its Blackwell AI chips for China to align with U.S. restrictions and sustain market access.
  • The CEO has labeled U.S. export controls a “failure” for American businesses and said Nvidia will “work through” President Trump’s semiconductor tariffs despite potential disruptions.
  • Congressional proposals are moving to require AI chip makers to verify end-user locations and tighten licensing to block technology transfers to China’s military.
