NVIDIA CEO JENSEN HUANG DROPS BOMBSHELL ON US CHIP CURBS – ‘A TOTAL FAILURE!’

by New Rules [5-21-2025 published].

(This is another example of export controls on US technology that is actively destroying important technology in the US & destroying US companies. Having worked in the hi-tech sector, it is obvious that most US politicians simply do NOT understand technologies & they certainly don't understand how restrictions placed on NVIDIA come back to hurt us far more than the Chinese. Russia is another example, where the extensive sanctions have forced Russia to develop equivalent and/or superior products themselves that they can then sell to friendly nations at a better price than those products from the US. Massive stupidity!!! — RAD)

In a fiery speech at Computex Taipei, the California-based chip giant's CEO unleashed a scathing critique of US export controls aimed at slowing China’s AI chip progress, calling them a catastrophic misstep that’s only supercharged Chinese industry.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

US restrictions meant to curb China’s AI chip access have BACKFIRED spectacularly

Nvidia’s China market share CRASHED from 95% to just 50% in four years

Chinese tech giants like Huawei are now building competitive AI hardware at breakneck speed

Huang says export bans gave Chinese firms “spirit” and government backing to dominate

Trump-era ban on Nvidia’s H20 chip (designed for China) triggered a massive $5.5B writedown

Nvidia has NO plans for a new China-specific “Hopper” chip, as previous designs were “degraded so severely”

Huang didn’t hold back: “Chinese AI researchers will use their own chips – they’ll take the second best and run with it. Local companies are fiercely determined, and US policies have only poured fuel on their fire with government support accelerating their rise. Our competition in China is INTENSE!”

The US tried to kneecap China’s AI ambitions, but instead, it’s ignited a tech arms race.

Is the US losing its edge?
