NVIDIA plans to build a research center in Shanghai as it struggles with US trade limits on China. The company sees Chinese customers moving to other options because of these restrictions. Jensen Huang, who leads NVIDIA, wants to keep Chinese business through local solutions that meet US rules. The center will use Chinese workers but keep main designs outside the country to follow US laws. NVIDIA hopes this move will help them hold onto skilled workers who might otherwise join rival companies.
Chinese tech firms have grown tired of waiting for NVIDIA products they can legally use. Many have switched to chips made by Chinese companies like Huawei instead. NVIDIA currently sells L20 AI chips in China after stronger versions were banned. The company wants to create new chips that follow US rules but still appeal to Chinese buyers. Huang believes American tech standards should spread worldwide and worries about losing market share. Chinese companies feel forced to make hard choices because they cannot rely on steady access to NVIDIA technology.
