Nvidia’s Huang Pushes Back on Military Use Claims Ahead of China Trip
Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang is setting the record straight about China’s use of his company’s chips, just days before he visits Beijing again this month.

In a candid interview with CNN, Huang brushed off concerns that China’s military or intelligence agencies need Nvidia’s powerful chips to boost their weaponry. “China already has plenty of computing power up and running,” Huang said. “They don’t really need Nvidia chips or American tech to build their military.”
This comes at a time when the US has placed restrictions on exporting advanced chips to China, trying to limit access to key technology. But Huang worries these limits might actually slow down innovation here at home. He warned that if Chinese AI developers can’t get Nvidia’s tech, they’ll likely just create their own versions — meaning the US could lose its tech edge.
Huang is heading back to China on July 16, marking his second trip this year. Nvidia will hold a media event there to talk about its plans and products. With the US government keeping a close eye on the visit, Huang’s approach seems to balance business realities with the bigger picture of global tech rivalry.
At its core, Huang’s message is clear: the tech world is complicated. It’s not just about blocking tech exports, but about understanding how innovation and competition play out on a global stage. For now, everyone’s watching to see what comes next from Nvidia — and how the US and China navigate this high-stakes tech dance.
