Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang said US export restrictions have accelerated China’s efforts to build its own semiconductor industry, potentially compressing a decade of development into five years, CNBC reported.
\n\n“We’ve definitely accelerated because of all the regulations. We’ve accelerated their internal capabilities, probably pulled in what would have taken 10 years and made it five,” Huang said in an interview with CNBC at Nvidia’s GTC conference in Berlin.
\n\nHuang said the restrictions had spurred China to expand domestic chip manufacturing and invest in the industrial infrastructure needed to support the sector.
\n\n“There’s no question we’ve accelerated that,” he said, adding that Nvidia and other US technology companies remained prepared to compete with Chinese rivals.
\n\nHis comments come as Chinese companies, including Huawei, seek to strengthen their positions across the semiconductor supply chain amid restrictions on access to US technology.
