The Select Committee on China of the U.S. House of Representatives has called out Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, pointing out on X its claims that Nvidia has been sharing its Santa Clara campus with Futurewei, a subsidiary of blacklisted Huawei. The committee has previously demanded that Futurewei reveal details about its connection with Huawei and its American operations, while also pointing out its close proximity to Nvidia’s offices for years. While not directly accusing Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang or Futurewei, the committee highlighted the strategic implications of this co-location. We have reached out to Nvidia for comment.
“Our Select Committee letter earlier this year documented how Nvidia shared a campus with Futurewei, a blacklisted Huawei affiliate,” the committee said in the post. “China may be ‘nanoseconds behind’ in AI, but for years it was in Nvidia’s backyard.” This was made in response to Huang’s comment that “China is going to win the AI race,” and his following statement saying, “As I have long said, China is nanoseconds behind America in AI. It’s vital that America wins by racing ahead and winning developers worldwide.”
