TECH NEWS – According to Nvidia’s CEO, China has caught up in the field of artificial intelligence in just a few months.

Jensen Huang has once again raised the issue of competition between the United States and China in the AI race, claiming that America is only nanoseconds ahead. The Nvidia-China fiasco has been particularly troubling to Huang lately, as the company struggles to find a way out of the stalemate regarding its solution for the Chinese AI market. The outlook for Blackwell-based chips is bleaker than ever, and the reintroduction of Hopper means that Nvidia will enter the Chinese market with an average AI chip. Furthermore, due to political conflicts and regulatory concerns between the U.S. and China, Nvidia seems unable to find a way out of this quagmire.

In a statement, Jensen Huang claims that China is only nanoseconds away from catching up with the US in terms of technology. Interestingly, the gap between the two countries has narrowed from years to seconds in a matter of months. This is due to China’s rapid growth in AI in recent months. Domestic companies have placed a strong emphasis on developing AI solutions due to their leapfrogging of the Western technology stack. Companies such as Huawei have introduced technologies that compete with Nvidia’s Vera Rubin technology.

China is a hot topic for Nvidia and the U.S. government. According to the Wall Street Journal, some government officials are reluctant to allow China to acquire American AI technology. However, Huang argues that American developers and technologies must have a presence in China to win the competition. This statement was likely made when Trump announced that Blackwell would not be available in China.

It will be interesting to see how the situation develops, as Nvidia currently has only one option: to obtain approval for Blackwell chips. However, Beijing remains hostile toward Nvidia’s AI chips.
