Nvidia is looking to ship more advanced chips to China than its current generation, CEO Jensen Huang said on Wednesday, as he looks to revitalize sales in the world's second-largest economy.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hailed Chinese AI models like DeepSeek as world-class, adding that AI is ‘fundamental infrastructure’ akin to electricity. Speaking in Beijing, he called China's open-source AI a ‘catalyst for global progress’.
