NVIDIA Denies Reports of Spinning Off China Business
NVIDIA has officially denied recent reports suggesting it plans to spin off its China operations into an independent entity. The rumors originated from a paywalled report by Digitimes, which claimed the chipmaker was considering forming joint ventures with local firms to separate its Chinese business. In a statement to Chinese media outlet Jiemian News, NVIDIA dismissed these claims as entirely false and without basis. The company criticized the publication of unsubstantiated speculation as fact, labeling such practices as irresponsible. This denial comes amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions affecting the semiconductor industry. Concurrently, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang visited Beijing on April 17 at the invitation of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT). During a meeting with CCPIT Chairman Ren Hongbin, Huang expressed his strong desire to continue cooperation with China. This visit underscores NVIDIA's commitment to maintaining its presence and partnerships in the Chinese market despite regulatory challenges and circulating rumors about potential structural changes to its operations in the region.
