How an engineer turned tech mogul became the most influential voice in AI and a key figure in Trump’s trade diplomacy with China.

Nvidia Corp. boss Jensen Huang lauded DeepSeek and China’s other contributions to AI research as he met with political and tech leaders in Beijing.

The shift in strategy, which angered China hawks in Washington, raises a key question as Trump sets the stage for a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping later this year: how far will the US go in rolling back a range of measures restricting business between the world’s biggest economies imposed in the name of national security?

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said, during a trip to Beijing this week, that if he were a student today, he’d focus on the physical sciences.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says export controls on advanced chips require companies to adapt. Speaking in Beijing on Wednesday, he addressed the recent lifting of a U.S. ban on Nvidia's H20 chip sales to China.

The US chip giant has received fresh approval to resume deliveries of its H20 chip to China after Commerce Department reverses earlier export curbs.
