According to "Business Insider", Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in an interview that China's AI researchers are among the best in the world, so it is not surprising that American companies are actively recruiting them.Jen-Hsun Huang was interviewed by Ben Thompson, founder of Stratechery, a technology electronic newspaper. He said: "Chinese researchers and AI scientists are world-class. They are not only Chinese AI researchers, but also world-class AI researchers."

"If you walk around the office area of ​​Anthropic, OpenAI or DeepMind, you will find that there are many AI researchers from China. Of course, this is natural. They are very good, so their work is also very good, which is not surprising to me at all." Huang Renxun said.

Huang Renxun said that overall, China’s performance in the field of AI is “excellent.” Models launched by Chinese companies such as DeepSeek and Manus are becoming strong challengers to American AI systems.

"To be honest, DeepSeek has done an excellent job. If you don't give them such an evaluation, it is a sign of lack of confidence. The lack of confidence is so unbearable that I can't tolerate it," he said.

Huang added that the challenges posed by international competitors are absolutely necessary for U.S. AI companies to continue to advance. "Everyone likes competition. Companies need competition to motivate themselves, and so do countries. There is no doubt about this, and we are indeed motivating them. However, I can fully expect that China will participate in this competition throughout the process. Huawei is a powerful company and a world-class technology company." He said.

Supervision cannot be strict

Huang also warned that fierce competition could become a problem if U.S. companies don't have access to all the tools they need. He pointed out that building the "ecosystem" required to support AI is already difficult, and strict regulatory measures may hinder business operations. He was particularly critical of the so-called "diffusion rule," a Biden administration policy that was scheduled to impose export restrictions on U.S.-made AI chips starting on May 15.

"You can't just say, 'Let's develop a proliferation rule to protect a certain layer of technology at the expense of everything else.' This idea is simply ridiculous. We proposed this restriction exactly when international competitors are catching up, and Nvidia has foreseen this." Huang Renxun said. On May 12 this year, just days before the AI ​​proliferation rule was to take effect, the White House announced that it would revoke the rule.

Huang Renxun said: "The idea of ​​restricting other countries' access to US technology through AI proliferation rules is completely putting the cart before the horse. The correct mission should be to accelerate the popularization of US technology on a global scale as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late. If our goal is to keep the United States leading in the field of AI, then this proliferation rule will have exactly the opposite effect."

He said that competition is two-way, and American companies should also compete in the Chinese market. "China has 50% of the world's AI researchers. From the perspective of computing infrastructure and architecture, the idea of ​​not allowing American companies to compete in the Chinese market makes no sense at all," Huang said. "We should give American companies the opportunity to compete in the Chinese market, make up for the trade deficit, create tax revenue for the American people, promote construction, create jobs, and increase jobs."
