Asian governments assess risks as Nvidia’s leadership departure is reported
Governments across Asia are assessing the effects of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s reported departure, with South Korea confirming chip supply plans and Taiwan saying a planned headquarters remains on track. The responses reflect Nvidia’s importance to regional AI industries and uncertainty around projects that depend on its processors.
China rejected claims that a businesswoman linked to Huang was a spy and said it was unaware of reports about restricted Nvidia chips reaching a Shanghai data centre. Chinese AI projects worth more than $3 billion reportedly rely on such processors. Singapore said its investigation into Megaspeed and six others remains ongoing, while South Korea said Nvidia reaffirmed plans to supply 260,000 advanced GPUs; Japan said it would monitor the company.
