NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US) CEO Huang Renxun visited Japan to promote, calling for increased investment in electricity to drive AI development.

NVIDIA Corporation CEO Huang Renxun met with Japanese Prime Minister Shiroiwa Shigeru on Monday, calling for Japan to increase power supply to meet the needs of artificial intelligence (AI) development. After the meeting, Huang Renxun told reporters that the two sides discussed Japan's unique advantages in the development of artificial intelligence, particularly its leading position in Siasun Robot & Automation technology and industrial manufacturing. However, he also emphasized that the research and creation of intelligent technology cannot be separated from energy support. "Japan needs to build new infrastructure," Huang Renxun said. "Energy is crucial for all industrial growth." The meeting comes as Huang Renxun concludes his trip to Beijing and as U.S. President Trump announces a ban on NVIDIA Corporation selling H20 chips to China. This ban signifies an escalation in the U.S.-China tech rivalry, directly targeting NVIDIA Corporation's chip product line designed specifically for the Chinese market and compliant with previous U.S. export control requirements. Last week, NVIDIA Corporation warned that the latest U.S. chip restrictions could result in a $5.5 billion asset impairment. A bipartisan committee in the U.S. House of Representatives also demanded that NVIDIA Corporation submit information on chip sales, which could be used by Chinese AI newcomer DeepSeek to develop its breakthrough chat Siasun Robot & Automation.
