Huang’s visit comes as Beijing and Washington have locked horns in a tariff war, with Nvidia being one of the US tech leaders bearing the brunt of hostilities between the two countries. Huang had dinner with US President Donald Trump a week ago.
According to posts on a social media account affiliated with the state-owned China Central Television (CCTV), Huang arrived in Beijing on Thursday at the invitation of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, a state-backed body representing Chinese exporters.
Huang, 62, met with Ren Hongbin, chairman of the council, and expressed hope that Nvidia could continue to cooperate with China given that it is a “key market” for the company, according to a report by CCTV on Thursday.
Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Huang’s trip on Thursday.
Nvidia’s shares fell 6.9 per cent in the US on Wednesday after it disclosed the H20 restrictions.
