NVIDIA’s Dilemma and Strategy in “Walking a Tightrope” Between US and Chinese Markets: The Information’s in-depth report reveals NVIDIA’s difficult situation navigating the US and Chinese markets. Jensen Huang personally lobbied US politicians to alleviate pressure from export bans. The Chinese market accounts for 14% of NVIDIA’s revenue, and the ban on H20 chip sales has already caused billions of dollars in losses. Although Jensen Huang has publicly criticized the Biden administration’s restrictions and tried to curry favor with Trump, sudden policy shifts still occur. NVIDIA, on one hand, emphasizes respect for the Chinese market, while on the other, it needs to address accusations from the US government of being “dishonest.” Currently, NVIDIA is developing the B30 chip for the Chinese market and strengthening developer training to maintain market connections. Despite losing part of the Chinese market, the prosperity of the US market provides NVIDIA with financial support, but it still needs to seek balance in complex geopolitics (Source: dotey)
