Chinese brain drain a great loss for US, says Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang
'I'm also happy they go home, because that's where they're from,' Huang said in response to a question from the Post during a group interview on Tuesday. 'But it's an enormous loss for America when the brightest minds decide to come to you for education and decide to go home.'
Huang is in Beijing this week – on his third visit to China this year – to attend the China International Supply Chain Expo, which is being held from Wednesday to Sunday.
'I hope that the United States continues to be a country where we can pursue our American dream,' he said at an event organised by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade.
Huang, who was born in Taiwan, said he ended up in the US 'because my parents wanted to pursue the American dream'.
'I'm an immigrant,' he said. 'And because of the United States and all of my colleagues and the dream that we had, we created a very nice company and it has helped me become quite successful. All of that, I hope that other people can enjoy as well.'

European Union sanctions 2 Chinese banks over aid to Russia
The European Union has sanctioned two small Chinese banks in its latest package of measures designed to hobble Russia's war machine, despite a warning from Beijing to expect consequences. Suifenhe Rural Commercial Bank and Heihe Rural Commercial Bank, two regional lenders from cities close to China's border with Russia, were blacklisted in the 18th package of sanctions agreed on Friday morning, diplomatic sources confirmed. The development has been weeks in the making, with Slovakia withdrawing a long-standing veto to allow the package to pass. The central European country had been blocking the move over an EU plan to stop gas imports from Russia beginning in 2028. The move could prompt retaliation from China, which has lobbied intensely behind the scenes to get the banks removed from the package. It also comes less than a week out from a high-stakes summit in Beijing During a meeting with the EU's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, this month, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi warned her 'three or four times' that there would be a response to the banks' inclusion, according to sources familiar with the exchange. 01:57 Volodymyr Zelensky accuses Chinese firms of supplying artillery and missiles to Russia Volodymyr Zelensky accuses Chinese firms of supplying artillery and missiles to Russia In Brussels, Chinese diplomats – including ambassador Cai Run – have held 'frank exchanges' with EU officials to try to prevent the listing, according to people involved.

China pledges more consumption incentives to service the service sector
China has vowed to continue cutting red tape and attracting foreign investment to boost service consumption over the next five years, as Beijing turns to domestic demand for a reliable source of economic growth in an uncertain environment for international trade. Advertisement There is a 'shortage of high-quality service on the supply side' even as service consumption grows at a faster rate than that of goods, Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao said at a press conference in Beijing on Friday. To address the shortage, China will 'reduce some restrictive measures and enrich service supply' from 2026 to 2030, especially in sectors such as healthcare and elderly care, Wang said. Wang's comments came as the world's second-largest economy attempts to drive up domestic consumption to compensate for a trade picture complicated by a tense, multi-front trade war launched by US President Donald Trump earlier this year. 'China-US economic and trade relations have weathered many storms, and both sides remain important economic and trade partners,' Wang said when asked about the topic. 'Facts prove that 'decoupling' is impossible.' Advertisement In 2024, the combined goods imports of mainland China and Hong Kong accounted for about 13.3 per cent of global imports, the minister noted. This made China the world's second-largest import market, nearly on par with the US and its 13.6 per cent share.
