Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang made a brief stop in Taipei on 22 Aug 2025 to meet and dine with leaders of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. He said the visit centred on the companies’ long-running partnership and manufacturing plans for Nvidia’s forthcoming Rubin architecture, which will feature six new chips. Huang thanked the U.S. government for granting an export license that allows Nvidia to ship its H20 artificial-intelligence accelerator to Chinese customers. Responding to questions recently raised by Beijing, he reiterated that the H20 contains no security backdoors and maintained that the shipments do not pose a national-security risk. The executive added that Nvidia is in discussions with Washington about whether it may sell a successor data-centre product to China. The decision ultimately rests with regulators, he said, and it is too early to predict the outcome. Huang underscored the importance of bolstering the U.S. technology stack but noted that advances in artificial intelligence will continue "with or without the United States."
