Watch this smear campaign unfold in real time right before your eyes.
Not being fiercely anti-Chinese will cost him his company: he was reckless enough to let a “Beijing spy” get close to him (an accusation with no evidence whatsoever), he has a mistress (like many other CEOs of major tech companies before him), and so on.
If these accusations don’t hold up, others will follow.
This isn’t about morality, but about technological supremacy and total obedience to the narrative that China is the enemy.
In this interview, he explains that the U.S. policy of restricting sales of Nvidia products (and those of other brands) to China is a mistake.
Mistake: “You’re either with us or against us,” the Deep State reminds him today.
Other tech moguls in strategic sectors will soon have to toe the official line and actively demonstrate their loyalty.
In 2022, I predicted in my book a global digital divide: countries in the Global South will soon have to choose between Western solutions (primarily American and Israeli, which have “bought up” everything there was to buy in the EU) and Chinese solutions.
This episode is meant to scare him. It could all end overnight if he submits. It will cost him only half his net worth in one of the high-profile divorces on the horizon.
This is the first salvo in the crackdown on American CEOs, who continue to invest heavily in China despite the official policy of “decoupling.”
Logically speaking, this witch hunt should soon cross the Atlantic.
I dislike Huang on a personal level, he's been a professional liar and manipulator for decades, his company reflects this with constant PR manipulations and low blows. I've actively avoided buying Nvidia for a long time because of this.
But it's important to remember one thing here. The US Deep State is basically Lucifer in person and couldn't care less how much evil they need to inflict on the world as long as they keep having totalitarian control over everyone. This is why they've sabotaged and shut down nuclear power and electrification (petrodollar control), why they sabotage every single nationalist/patriotic leader in every country, why they push for the entire world to come to American social media and tech platforms.
And it so happens that a few years ago, when the Chinese started building a massive AI software crowd, with about half of the AI researchers in the entire world being Chinese, the US Government got sweat on its brow and started realising that their wet dream of running the world through total AI control that nobody else could compete with was going to get compromised.
Just to tell you how long that dream has been running, since the post-2001 Patriot Act and its right to spy on everything and the Big Data push in the early 2010s, the main goal of the US Empire has been to record as much data on everyone as possible. The idea was to have a complete file on literally everyone on Earth that used the internet with every piece of data they could get on them. The problem is that this ended up being too much and so they needed an agent to run these gigantic datasets, and eventually AI came to do the job.
So the Chinese competition isn't just an economic one, it's a way out of the totalitarian hellhole the Deep State wants to keep everyone in through information control (everyone asks AI = everyone can be manipulated by AI) and information usage (knowing who to manipulate against whom, who to attack and who to use).
And Huang has made a rather infamous move a few years ago, in the late Biden/early Trump 2 era. He got pressured by Washington to stop selling to China. He is an asshole, but like a lot of very rich assholes he has some serious willpower and refused to bow to the pressure, on the contrary he pushed hard for his chips to keep selling to China because he didn't want them to build competing hardware and he didn't want to let go of a market representing nearly 30% of his sales.
When the pressure got too high though, he did a veeeery special move. He went on stage and showed that he was planning a "new HQ"...in Taiwan. Away from the 30-year long presence in California and theoretically away from US jurisdiction. https://t.co/VDcBMBPM1r
The message was clear: "you think you can curb my business in America with your tariffs and your China ban, I can just leave".
The message back from the USG, now that Trump is out and the Dems are back in, is just as clear. "No you can't". "Here's an astroturfed CCP spying story, here's you having to apologise to your board and your wife and family, here's you in a mountain of problems".
Now I have no idea how will Jensen be dealt with. If he's forced to resign, Nvidia will pass directly under US Govt control, probably some CIA stooge running the company. Jensen is talented and doesn't want to get squashed so perhaps he will not be, but then he'll be entire puppetized and do exactly what the government wants him to.
Incidentally, back when the tariffs/China ban came, Jensen went hard on Washington while Lisa Su of AMD stood around like a good dog waiting for orders. Perhaps she's more of an engineer than a businesswoman and felt like politics was a domain in which she didn't want to be involved. Knowing her career and the company, it's likely. But perhaps she just never had the intention to reject anything from Washington and AMD's already obedient to every order from the Deep State. Considering how kind they have been to open source over the decades, I doubt it somewhat, but I'd watch how open-sourcey AMD remains in the next months or years to decide on it.
