According to Global Network, "How did NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang persuade Trump to sell artificial intelligence chips to China?" The New York Times reported on the 17th how Huang convinced President Trump to change his mind and overturn the ban on the sale of H20 chips to China that he imposed in April this year. Two anonymous sources revealed that Huang urged the restoration of H20 chip sales to China during a meeting with Trump in the Oval Office last week. He believes that American chips "should become the global standard," and that "handing over the vast Chinese market to domestic competitors is clearly a serious mistake." A major investor in NVIDIA stated that Huang has consistently argued that winning the favor of Chinese developers and preventing the loss of dominance is the best path for American artificial intelligence to win in global competition
