Bring back Jensen: Why Nvidia's scandal-hit CEO still has Silicon Valley's backing

Bring back Jensen: Why Nvidia's scandal-hit CEO still has Silicon Valley's backing

What's behind this

More than $3 billion of AI infrastructure projects across China remain dependent on advanced Nvidia processors, highlighting Beijing’s reliance on U.S. technology even as the Trump administration tightens export controls. The situation is compounded by the recent resignation of Nvidia co‑founder Jensen Huang, who stepped down as CEO in November 2026 after three decades of leading the chip maker. Related reports note that U.S. congressional curbs have put some Nvidia chip access in doubt and that China’s foreign ministry has urged the United States to stop “fabricating” spy allegations. The combined pressures underscore challenges for Chinese AI development.
