NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun stated that China will surpass the United States in the AI competition, due to its lower energy costs and more relaxed regulatory environment. Huang directly said, "China will win this AI competition," and criticized Western countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, for being "cynical" and called for regaining the "optimistic spirit." These remarks were made as the Trump administration still maintains the ban on NVIDIA selling high-end chips to China. Huang pointed out that states in the United States are successively introducing AI regulatory regulations, which may lead to "50 different sets of rules," while China lowers the cost of operating AI chips for local technology companies through electricity subsidies, "electricity is almost free in China."
Huang had previously warned that the leading advantage of U.S. AI models is rapidly shrinking and urged Washington to reopen the market to China to maintain the global reliance on American technology. However, Trump reiterated last week after a bilateral meeting that the United States would not allow China to use NVIDIA's most advanced Blackwell chips, restricting their use to within the United States only. Huang Renxun's statements highlight the deep anxiety in Silicon Valley regarding the landscape of the Sino-U.S. AI competition. Since the Chinese startup laboratory DeepSeek launched a large language model at the beginning of the year, confidence in the U.S. industry about maintaining technological leadership has been continuously shaken.
