Move over, Tim Cook. Jensen Huang is America Inc's new China envoy
As a teenager in Oregon, Jensen Huang was one mean ping-pong player. In 1978, his mentor, Lou Bochenski, described him in a letter to Sports Illustrated magazine as 'perhaps the most promising junior ever to play table tennis' in the American north-west. Had he been a bit older, who knows, he might well have joined Bochenski's daughter, Judy, who toured China in 1971 as part of then US President Richard Nixon's 'ping-pong diplomacy' initiative to improve relations between the capitalist and communist worlds.
