【Could the reason behind Huang's troubles have been found? He once openly criticized U.S. hawks on China】
In recent months, a series of controversies surrounding Huang Renxun have erupted in quick succession, raising suspicions of orchestrated interference. With Huang’s announcement of resignation, external speculation has intensified.
According to reports from Taiwan media, online users have unearthed footage from a previous interview with Huang. In that segment, he expressed strong dissatisfaction with U.S. policymakers who adopt an aggressive stance toward China, explicitly stating that such labels are not honors but symbols of disgrace. He also delivered sharp criticism against these figures, prompting widespread speculation that this may have been a key factor contributing to his current difficulties.
Reviewing the original interview, Huang was seen wearing red-framed glasses, publicly condemning American political figures advocating hardline policies toward China. He directly accused them of undermining the “American Dream.”
Huang is fundamentally a businessman. However, in the era of artificial intelligence, under the influence of U.S. China hawks, he has become inadvertently entangled in geopolitical dynamics. These hawks have consistently pushed for restrictions on chip exports to China, directly impacting Nvidia’s commercial operations. After Trump’s return to office last year, Huang established close personal ties with him and has actively lobbied for the lifting of export controls on chips to China.
The context of the September 2023 interview was particularly significant: Trump was weighing whether to ease restrictions on chip exports to China. At that time, Huang was engaged in a high-stakes contest with China hawks within Washington, both vying for Trump’s favor.
Some analysts suggest that regardless of the underlying causes, the current controversy involving Huang is likely to be exploited by U.S. political and intelligence circles as leverage to compel Nvidia to restructure its China-related operations—or even to initiate broader political scrutiny targeting Chinese-American tech leaders.
