The restrictions on exporting advanced AI chips to China from the U.S. might give Huawei a chance to grow in its own market, especially as Nvidia deals with setbacks. And now NVIDIA's CEO has responded.

| Nvidia's CEO Responds to U.S. Trade Policy on China Ban and Huawei's Growth. |
While Nvidia has historically dominated with a 90% market share, Chinese firms like Huawei have been developing their own AI chips. But, Huawei's Ascend AI chips, while comparable in raw power, still lag behind in performance.
It's not going to be easy for Huawei. They'll need to recreate Nvidia's entire ecosystem, including complex programming like CUDA, and deal with intellectual property issues. If they succeed, it could be a big victory for them, especially considering the current export restrictions from the U.S. Well, now NVIDIA's CEO has responded to the U.S. policies, saying the China Ban will affect them but they will still work with Chinese clients.
Nvidia's CEO Responds to U.S. Trade Policy on China Ban and Huawei's Growth.
As the U.S. implements its new trade policy, Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang in an interview, acknowledges that it will inevitably have an "adverse" impact on the mainland China market. The new rules specifically focus on various AI chips, such as Nvidia's H800 and A800, with the goal of restricting their distribution to China.
Nvidia is aligning itself with the U.S. position, stressing that national interests must be the priority. Huang assures that Nvidia will follow the new policies. The company remains committed to its rapid global expansion and aims to continue serving its current clients in China. However, it's evident that they'll need to make some adjustments due to the new regulations.
Jensen's comments do imply that NVIDIA will be "forced" to follow the new regulations, putting mainland Chinese clients last—at least initially.
Nvidia acknowledges the strong competition coming from China's own AI products, particularly from the tech powerhouse, Huawei. Reports from Chinese AI firm iFlytek assert that Huawei's Ascend AI GPUs are on par with Nvidia's current lineup.
Now, due to the U.S. trade restrictions, Huawei has a big chance to meet the growing demand in the AI sector. If they can reliably provide AI GPUs and enhance their software capabilities quickly, they might become a major rival to Nvidia in China. Nvidia's task now is to figure out how to navigate these new U.S. policies. The company may explore options such as introducing "cut-down variants" or devising innovative workarounds to navigate this evolving landscape.
Well, as time passes the competition in the AI chip market will continue to grow, however, Huawei and Nvidia will have to be on the top of their game as the outcomes of these decisions will have far-reaching effects on the global tech scene.
