U.S. chipmaker Nvidia announced that its CEO Jensen Huang is due to hold a media briefing in Beijing on Wednesday. It will be his second visit to China in three months.
This after the company hit a record 4-trillion-U.S.-dollar market capitalisation.
Huang said during a recent interview that U.S. enterprises should be allowed to export technology to China so as to secure America's core position in the development of artificial intelligence.
In the interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria aired Sunday, Jensen Huang argued America's push for "re-industrialisation" is a smart move that could reduce dependency on foreign countries.
He said: "You know, everybody has their own path and so having a rich ecosystem of industries and manufacturing so that we could on the one hand make Nvidia better, make the United States better, but also reduce our dependency, sole dependence on other countries is a smart move."
Huang said onshoring manufacturing will take the pressure off Taiwan, which is home to the world's largest maker of semiconductor, TMSC.
He dispelled Washington's concerns that the Chinese military will use Nvidia's products to hone its capabilities. "They simply can't rely on it" as the technology "could be limited at any time," he said, adding "there's plenty of computing capacity in China already."
Washington earlier imposed a ban on sales of Nvidia's advanced H20 AI chips to the country. Huang reportedly pushed back against the export controls when he met U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington last week.
The Nvidia founder noted the curb is doomed to fail because it has pushed China to grow its own capabilities that may eventually emerge as rivals.
The Reuters news agency reported that some U.S. senators sent letters to Huang ahead of his closely watched China trip and requested him to avoid meeting companies that are working with the Chinese military or intelligence agencies, as well as companies on the U.S. export control list.
