- Jensen Huang says he’s disappointed with the last China Nvidia Ban
- The news follows rumors concerning the Nvidia H20 fleas
- Huang notes that the Chinese AI computer market offers enormous opportunities
The CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, said that he was “disappointed” in the information that the Chinese government has issued a new ban on buying company AI equipment.
Speaking during a media event in London attended Techradar Pro, Huang was invited to his reaction following a Financial time Report on the restrictions of the Chinese Cyberespace administration concerning its NVIDIA H20 equipment, which was produced specifically by the company for customers of the Chinese market.
“I am disappointed with what I see,” said Huang, “but they have more important programs to work between China and the United States – and I understand it, and we are patient.”
“Roller coaster”
“Our company in China in the past three years has been a bit of a roller coaster,” added Huang.
“We have explained to political decision -makers that the H20 are of no national security concern – the technology is for data centers, but it is available for player and so as a result.”
“I think people realize that H20 is not a national security problem,” he added, “and if China, the Chinese army or the military, would use computer technology for military applications, they have a lot at the national level-they will not depend on American technology.”
“We will continue to communicate and support the two governments as much as possible as they discuss it.”
The news occurs a few days after the Chinese state administration for market regulations (SAMR) accused Nvidia of having violated an anti-monopoly law, launching a preliminary investigation into the company.
“We will continue to communicate with the Chinese government and the US government, and I hope that all this takes place,” said Huang in reaction to a question concerning this decision.
“We could all be at the service of a market if the country wants us to be,” he added, “and the Chinese market is important-we have been serving for 30 years, and we have probably contributed more to the Chinese market than most companies.”
“At the highest level, the demand for AI in China is around a market of $ 15 billion,” added Huang, “it is the second largest IA computer market in the world … And therefore demand is great – and competition there is also something.”
