Wang said China's policies for attracting foreign investment remained unchanged, and its doors would only open wider, according to a statement issued by the ministry on Friday. Highlighting the country's vast market, Wang encouraged multinational firms, including Nvidia, to continue providing high-quality and reliable products and services to Chinese customers.
Huang said the Chinese market was attractive and affirmed Nvidia's commitment to deepening collaboration with Chinese partners in the AI sector, according to the statement.
On Monday, Nvidia said it was filing applications to
resume sales of its H20 chips in China after the US government assured the company that licences would be granted. Those chips have been subject to Washington's export restrictions since April.
The company also planned to introduce a new RTX Pro graphics processing unit that fully complied with regulatory requirements.
