NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang on Wednesday rejected the idea that geopolitical rivalry must preclude scientific partnership between China and the US, stating at a media briefing in Beijing that "there's always room in any house for at least two people."

In response to a question from Global Times on how he views the current state of AI development in China and the US and where he sees room for mutual learning and cooperation, Huang said there's always room in any house for at least two people. He cited historical growth in global GDP and population as evidence that technological progress is not a zero-sum game.

"The world's GDP will continue to grow, the world's population will continue to grow, I have every optimism and every belief that the US will continue to be very vibrant. China will be incredibly dynamic and continue to grow. And so I've got a very optimistic view of the future," Huang said.

Huang made the remarks at a media briefing, as he also attended the opening ceremony of the 3rd China International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing on Wednesday and participated in relevant events at the invitation of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, the China Central Television (CCTV) reported on Tuesday.

This is Huang's third visit to China in 2025.

Huang said the US government has granted export licenses for its H20 chips to China and Nvidia will begin the shipment soon.

"I am announcing that the US govt has approved for us, filing licenses, to start shipping H20s. We will start to sell the H20s to the Chinese market, and I am looking to shipping H20s very soon," Huang said, revealing that the company is launching a new graphics card named RTX Pro, which is designed for computer graphics, digital twins and artificial intelligence (AI).

The Chinese market is vast and vibrant, and AI is developing rapidly in China, Huang said, noting that he is pleased to see the progress in AI development.

 "Since Tuesday's announcement, I haven't had a chance to meet with any customers yet," Huang said. He added that it will take time to ramp up H20 supply chain capacity, and Nvidia will work to accelerate the process over the coming months, the Paper.cn reported.
