A delegation of tech executives, including Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, Apple’s Tim Cook, and billionaire Elon Musk, is in Beijing with US President Donald Trump to meet with President Xi Jinping for a summit.
The goal of the summit is to get China to “open up” to American firms and to facilitate dialogue on critical economic issues such as trade barriers, artificial intelligence development and geopolitical stability, according to a White House official.
However, many of these tech leaders already have working relationships with China or do business there. We take a closer look at their ties to the world’s second-largest economy.
The CEO of Nvidia, the trillion-dollar semiconductor chip powering the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, has deep business and personal ties to both China and Taiwan.
Jensen Huang was born in Taiwan and was sent by his parents to live in the United States when he was nine years old.
