Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, believes Chinese AI researchers are “world class”.

The US -based companies like Anthropic and Opeenai hire them, he told Stratechery in an interview.

International competition is healthy, but only if the rules do not interfere with the US, he said.
Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, believes Chinese AI researchers are one of the best in the world – so it’s no wonder US companies bring them to the ship.
“Researchers, Ai scientists in China, they are world-class. These are not Chinese AI researchers, they are world-class AI researchers,” said Huang in an interview with Ben Thompson, Stratechery. “You go up and down on the anthropical, Open or Deepmind passages, there are a whole bunch of AI researchers, and they are from China. Of course, it is smart and they are extraordinary, so they do an extraordinary job are not surprising to me.”
Overall, the country is doing “fantastic” on the market, Huang said models with Chinese companies such as Deepseek and Manus arising as powerful challenges of US -made systems.
“Let’s face it, Deepseek is a great job,” Huang said. “To give them nothing that is missing, is so deep that I just can’t even tolerate it.”
The challenges presented by international competitors, Huang added, are of extremely important forgoing improvement in AI companies in the US.
“Everyone likes competition. Companies need competition to inspire themselves, nations need it, and there is no doubt that we encourage them,” he said. “But I was completely hoping that China would be there every step. Huawei is a huge company. They are a global class technology company. “
Still, intense competition can become a problem, Huang said if the US -based companies do not have all the tools they need. According to him, to build an “ecosystem” needed to support, he says, is already difficult – and Huang believes that operations can be exempt from restricting regulations. He was particularly critical of the “diffusion rule”, a biden era policy, which would be limited to the export restrictions on the export of AI chips produced by the US on 15 May.
“You can’t just say – let’s go to write a diffusion rule, keep one layer at the expense of everything.” This is nonsense, “he said.” The idea that we will limit American AI technology at the time of international competitors and we almost foresee it. “
