He comes after a few years for Nvidia’s business in China, which Huang described as a “small train”.

“We have directed all financial analysts not to include China,” Huang told reporters on Wednesday at a briefing at the London press. “The reason for this is that this will largely be within the discussions of the United States and the Chinese Government.”
