Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is no stranger to Beijing, but his most recent visit, his third to China this year, cemented his rock star status in the country, where fans mingled freely with the AI titan on the streets of the capital.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's visit to Beijing, marked by enthusiastic public reception and meetings with high-ranking officials, underscores Nvidia's commitment to the Chinese market amidst US-China trade tensions.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the Trump administration is letting it sell its advanced H20 computer chips to China — a reversal in policy.
Why It Matters: Huang’s trip came as Nvidia resumed sales of its advanced H20 AI chips to China, after a temporary U.S. ban was reversed. The H20 is a less advanced and specially designed chip to comply with U.S. export rules that limit certain technologies from being sent to China.

Jensen Huang, the chipmaker’s chief executive, is trying to balance his company’s interests as the United States and China compete for supremacy in artificial intelligence.
Behind closed doors with Trump. Center stage in Beijing. Nvidia (NVDA) just pulled off the tech pivot of the year.
Jensen Huang extolled China’s technological advances and said President Trump wouldn’t mind his meetings in Beijing.
The Trump administration has dialed back aggressive measures against China and reversed its position on technology controls as the president angles for a Chinese trip later this year.
