Reuters: U.S. Bipartisan Lawmakers Warn NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun About His Visit to China
Reuters, July 11 — U.S. Republican Senator Jim Banks and Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to NVIDIA Chief Executive Officer Huang Renxun on Friday, warning him not to meet with companies suspected of undermining U.S. chip export controls during his upcoming trip to China. They asked Huang Renxun to avoid meeting representatives from companies that cooperate with China's military or intelligence agencies, as well as entities listed on the U.S. restricted list, concerned that this trip might legitimize companies closely collaborating with China's military; NVIDIA's spokesperson responded that "when American technology sets global standards, America wins," noting that China has the world's largest software development institutions, and AI software should perform best on American technology stacks; previously, Huang Renxun praised President Trump for lifting some AI chip export restrictions at the Taipei Computex trade show in May, describing previous rules as failures, and NVIDIA estimated that the restrictions in April would reduce the company's revenue by $15 billion; Senators emphasized that advanced AI hardware could accelerate China's military modernization, and U.S. legislators are pushing a law to force AI chip companies to verify product locations; the senators expressed concerns using NVIDIA's new research facility in Shanghai as an example.
