According to NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, the company is out of the Chinese AI market now. It’s most certainly not because it wants to be. The Chinese market is one of the most booming and profitable markets worldwide, but trade war policies between the US and China as Trump tries to brute force manufacturing back into the United States has left companies like NVIDIA to navigate the situation. For NVIDIA, that meant ending its current business in China. Huang shared frustrations about the situation of NVIDIA in China as it is during Citadel Securities’ Future of Global Markets 2025 conference, as pointed out by Wccftech. It was there that Huang revealed that the political turmoil caused NVIDIA to drop a massive opportunity overseas: NVIDIA has been hit heavily on both sides by the trade war taking place between China and the US. Back in April 2025, the US government implemented new export restrictions on NVIDIA’s H20 AI chips that were being sold to China, which ended up costing the company an extra $5.5 billion. Nonetheless, the company moved on with trying to salvage the situation, ending up with several Chinese customers attaining licenses to buy its chips. Unfortunately, soon after, the Chinese government would issue guidance to Chinese companies not to buy NVIDIA’s AI chips, which effectively sunk its business dealings in the nation for the time being. Jensen Huang, of all people, has plenty of reasons to be frustrated with government policy makers in the US and China, but it looks like NVIDIA continues to pay the price of trying to do business worldwide.
