Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will hold a media briefing in Beijing on Wednesday, an official from the company said on Sunday, marking his second visit to the country after a trip in April where he stressed the importance of the Chinese market.
Since 2022, the U.S. government has imposed restrictions on the export of Nvidia’s most advanced chips to China, citing concerns over potential military applications.
The U.S. also imposed a ban earlier this year on sales of Nvidia’s H20 artificial intelligence chips to the country — which had been Nvidia’s most powerful AI chip cleared for Chinese sales.

Huang’s latest visit has been closely-watched in both the U.S. and China.
