Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, has accepted an invitation to join the advisory board of Tsinghua University's School of Economics and Management in Beijing, as reported by the Financial Times. This prestigious board includes notable figures such as Apple's Tim Cook, Tesla's Elon Musk, and Microsoft's Satya Nadella, among others. Established in October 2000, the board comprises 65 members from various sectors, including technology and finance, and meets annually in Beijing. Huang's decision to join comes amid ongoing U.S. restrictions on the export of Nvidia's advanced chips to China, which have been in place since 2022 due to concerns over their potential military applications. Despite Huang's recent visit to China alongside former U.S. President Donald Trump, there has been no indication of progress in negotiations to sell Nvidia's H200 AI chips to the Chinese market. Tsinghua University, often referred to as 'China's Harvard,' has a history of educating many of China's senior politicians, including President Xi Jinping.
