Tech war: Nvidia CEO Huang thanks China staff for loyalty amid heightened US chip curbs
The American entrepreneur touted Nvidia’s contribution to China’s modernisation on a trip to Beijing
While Santa Clara, California-based Nvidia did not disclose the details of Huang’s itinerary, video clips and news reports from local media showed the Taiwan-born American entrepreneur meeting clients and employees in Shenzhen and Beijing.
At an annual party on Sunday at Nvidia’s office in the Chinese capital, Huang emphasised the company’s contribution to the country’s technological development.
About 1.5 million developers in China were using CUDA, Nvidia’s proprietary platform for building programs running on graphics processing units, Huang said. The company was also working with more than 3,000 start-ups to “help establish the technology industry here in China”, he added.
“Together over the last two decades, we have contributed to the modernisation of one of the greatest markets, the greatest countries in the world, and we’re extremely proud to be part of the ecosystem,” Huang said.
He also touted the low turnover rate of the local team.
