Huang Renjun: Chinese troops are unlikely to use American AI chips

In a recent remark, NVIDIA Chief Executive Jensen Huang said that the U.S. government does not have to worry about the Chinese military using its company's products to enhance military capabilities. He pointed out that with the increasing strict technical export restrictions on China by the United States, this issue has become the main focus of the Washington Administration. Huang Rensheng emphasized that the Chinese military will avoid using these products due to the risks brought by the use of American technology.
This statement was published after the United States strengthened export controls on China's AI technology in April 2025. Huang Rensha warned that these restrictions will significantly reduce Nvidia's revenue, and pointed out that Nvidia's market share in China has dropped from 95% in 2021 to about 50% now. Despite the challenges, Huang Rensheng remains optimistic about China's growing AI market, which is expected to reach US$50 billion.
In addition, Huang Renshi plans to attend the International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing in July 2025 and hope to meet with Chinese officials, but these meetings require Beijing's approval. US participants also warned Huang Renqiu, suggesting that he should not contact Chinese companies related to the military, as this may strengthen China's military capabilities. Despite this, Huang Rensha still believes that the Chinese military is unlikely to use US AI chips directly.
It is worth noting that Nvidia's new and more competitive Blackwell AI chips are expected to be shipped after they are approved by the U.S. government, and this may have to wait until after September 2025.
