Taipei, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Nvidia ( NVDA ) CEO Jensen
Huang said on Friday that there were "no active discussions"
about selling the company's state-of-the-art Blackwell chips to
China.
Blackwell
is Nvidia's ( NVDA ) current flagship artificial intelligence chip
that the Trump administration has so far prevented from being
sold to China, for fear it would aid the Chinese military and
domestic AI industry.
While there was
speculation
last week that talks between U.S. President Donald Trump
and Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea could end with a
deal to allow a scaled-down version of the Blackwell to be sold
in China, so far there have been
no signs of an agreement
.
"Currently, we are not planning to ship anything to
China," Huang said, soon after arriving in the city of Tainan
for his fourth public visit to Taiwan this year.
"It's up to China when they would like Nvidia ( NVDA ) products
to go back to serve the Chinese market, I look forward to them
changing their policy," he added.
The U.S. has allowed Nvidia ( NVDA ) to sell its H20 chip in
China, but Huang has repeatedly said over the past month that
China does not want Nvidia ( NVDA ) in the country, so its market share
of the advanced AI chip market is zero.
Huang, in remarks seen on a live broadcast by Taiwan's
Formosa TV News network, also said he was in Taiwan to visit
long-time partner TSMC and participate in the
company's sports day.
