87 Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, has stated that China holds the edge in the global race for artificial intelligence, driven by its vast data ecosystem, aggressive computing infrastructure expansion, and a thriving developer community. Speaking at a recent event, Huang explained that while the U.S. and Europe continue to lead in AI model development and semiconductor design, China’s speed of implementation and ecosystem depth give it a strong competitive advantage. “China’s data resources, computing infrastructure, and industrial AI deployment are on a scale unmatched anywhere else,” he said. Huang also pointed to China’s strategic alignment between government policy, academia, and enterprise, noting that the country’s commitment to building large-scale AI data centres and model training infrastructure is accelerating innovation across sectors — from manufacturing and logistics to autonomous systems. Industry experts interpret Huang’s remarks as both an acknowledgment of China’s capabilities and a cautionary note to Western policymakers amid ongoing U.S.–China technology tensions. Nvidia, which remains one of the world’s top AI chip suppliers, has faced increasing export restrictions on high-end GPU sales to China. Despite the constraints, Huang emphasised that AI is a global phenomenon, urging for collaboration over competition to ensure safety, efficiency, and shared progress.
